O knihe

Amanda Hawken's debut novel, Northumberland's Harvest, is a sweeping saga of love, lust, and family secrets set against the backdrop of 16th century Europe.

Isobel Percy is a quiet, lovely girl with a heart of gold. A ward of the Earl of Northumberland, she has only known life in the noble houses of Europe since her birth.

But the Earl has a secret that only he and one other share-Isobel. Who is she and what is her true heritage?

Isobel befriends the beautiful Anne Boleyn, the future queen of England. Both girls, young and beautiful, serve at the English court. Soon, Anne begins an ill-fated love affair with Lord Percy. Isobel is drawn into this illicit triangle when she begins to serve as a liaise between the two. Isobel also harbors a developing secret, which stretches her faith to the limits.

When Gavyn Kerr, a handsome, violent man of the Border Clan, shows up in Isobel's circle of friends, Isobel must question his motives and her own heart. Will she succumb to his slow, repentant heart? Will she be able forgive once she discovers the secret?

From the arid border countries between England and Scotland to the royal houses of France, Northumberland's Harvest is a delicious treat. Hawken envelops the reader in a masterful story full of sensuous and passionate characters where secrets and vengeful plots abound!
