Summary

The first book in a gripping new series focusing on the early lives of some of the pivotal characters whose stories are later woven together in the award-winning Jacobite Chronicles. This is a companion series and can be enjoyed independently of the Chronicles.

The year is 1731, and in a small village in Cheshire, England, the Reverend Browne has determined the future of his young daughter, Sarah. Her life will be dedicated to caring for him and his household affairs while he, acting as one of God’s chosen few, saves souls from the devil.

Sarah dreams of a different future, one in which she will be happy and independent. As she grows older, she starts to see glimpses of a tantalizing world beyond her reach and longs one day to escape the drudgery of her life, to become part of it all and maybe even have her own business.

However, a chance meeting leads first to joy and blossoming and then to the destruction of her whole world. It changes her life forever, forcing her down a path that is the very opposite of the glittering one she had hoped for, one for which she has to pay a terrible price to survive.

Well-written, providing more interesting background

I am very fond of these stories and I’m delighted to have heard Sarah’s, gaining some more insight into her character. Having heard her story, there is more to her than meets the eye (or ear) in the original chronicles.

However, I do feel that some storylines were left unfinished. I have no idea what happened to the person searching for her later in the book, which makes me feel that that part of the storyline lacked a purpose. I would also have loved to know what happened to Sarah after the events in the chronicles, but, seeing as this is a background, I suppose it makes sense that I didn’t (though a small epilogue, tying together the unfinished storyline would have been great).

Surviving extreme traumas and beginning to live.

Another well written, engrossing story. Trying to comprehend such a life in those times.
Compelling book.

Another Superb novel in the Jacobite Chronicles series ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a wonderful audiobook, beautifully written with characters you love to love and characters you’ll love to hate. Thought-provoking, emotive and clearly well researched. Although most of the content of this book takes place before the main book 1, Mask of Duplicity (which I’ve listened to umpteen times!), I didn’t feel my listening to this out of sequence lessened my enjoyment. In fact, now I have a strong desire to start Mask again to pick up on some of where Sarah’s tale leaves off!
The dual narration is superb. Will is a master and its great to hear him again in this audiobook. Mary, is new to the Jacobite Chronicles series and I really hope she will be involved with the other books. She has a lovely sound to her voice and doesn’t just read out loud, she really ‘tells’ the story.
Another triumph, thank you Julia!

Harrowing yet inspiring

The mental and physical abuse suffered by Sarah is dreadful but her indomitable spirit is remarkable. Brilliant narration.
