Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 18th century, Dawnay Price is an anomaly. An educated foundling, a woman of science in a time when such things are unheard-of, she overcomes her origins to become a natural philosopher. Against the conventions of the day, and to the alarm of her male contemporaries, she sets sail to Portugal to develop her theories. There she makes some startling discoveries - not only in an ancient cave whose secrets hint at a previously undiscovered civilisation, but also in her own heart. The siren call of science is powerful, but as war approaches she finds herself pulled in another direction by feelings she cannot control.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sea Maid The last decade of Miss Dorothea Crowder's life was undoubtedly the happiest. Throughout those years she upheld a Cause - and upheld it almost single-handed. TO believe something is necessary; to believe against evi dence, proves strength Of conviction; but to believe alone is heroic. Her zeal of the proselytiser did nothing to impair her comfortable sense of solitary martyrdom; for in all those ten years not a single convert did Miss Dorothea Crow der make.

Book excerpt: Isolde's day has come. In Ireland, her mother, the Queen, lies dying. The throne of the Emerald Isle, one of the last strongholds of the goddess, awaits her. But while Ireland is her destiny, Isolde is already Queen of Cornwall, trapped in a loveless marriage to its mean-spirited King Mark. Her true love is his nephew, Tristan of Lyonesse, who has never married, remaining faithful only to Isolde. Across the sea in France, a young princess who shares Isolde's name enters the story. King Hoel named his daughtor in honor of Isolde of Ireland, and young Isolde of France has always been determined to outdo her beautiful namesake. She is a physician, too, and is called "Blanche Mains," for her white hands and healing touch. Blanche is of an age to be married, and she has chosen her husband—Tristan of Lyonesse. Her father objects, but fate favors Blanche. King Mark has become suspicious of his wife and nephew, and when Tristan is wounded in battle, he sees a chance to separate them for good. Mark sends Tristan to France to be healed by Blanche, who makes the most of the opportunity. Tristan's letters to Isolde are intercepted, and he is told that she has given him up. Near death from his wounds, Tristan sends one last, desparate letter to Isolde by a trusted servant. He is dying, he tells her, and asks for one final sign of their love. If she can forgive him for betraying her, she must come to France in a ship set with white sails. If the ship's sails are black, however, he will know that she no longer loves him. Isolde immediately leaves for France, but when Blanche sees the white-sailed ship from the castle window, she pulls the curtains and tells Tristan that the sails are black. To her horror, he turns his face to the wall and dies. There ends the traditional medieval story of Tristan and Isolde—with betrayal, death, and grief. But the original Irish lengend ends differently, and so does this book, wth magic and drama as only Rosalind Miles could write it.

Excerpt: ..."I warrant the fire in my heart shall prevent my contracting cold from the dampness of my garments. Set on, then; for, so please the saints, I will not return home until I have seen Poplar and this marvellous maiden!" Lettice was as good as her word; but, though she would not own it to Braybroke, she did feel wearied, when, with her clothes dripping and heavy from the continued rain, she at last drew the bridle of her palfrey before the pretty but secluded dwelling of the sister of the parish priest of St. Dunstan, Stepney. The tall and graceful trees of Italy, which gave their name, from the time of the Eomans, to the village of Poplar, flourished most luxuriantly round the dwelling of Dame Avisa Eipon, the sister of the good Father Bernard. A widow for many years, Dame Avisa had been left with a competent provision, and as she had no children, and had loved her husband too much to think of a second marriage, the poor of the neighbourhood looked upon her as a sort of general patroness and friend. The gate of Dame Avisa was never closed against the weary, her board never denied to those who were hungry or athirst. And if these qualities of her kindly nature were freely exhibited towards strangers, how did her heart expand to those who were recommended to her by the charity and wisdom of ber beloved and revered brother. There is, as we have before observed, a great boldness in bad deeds; the perpetrators so seldom allow themselves to reflect on the painful or awkward circumstances in which they may themselves be placed by the indulgence of their malice. Thus it was that Lettice Thorold and John Braybroke felt, as they boldly presented themselves at Dame Avisa's gate, and demanded to speak with her guest, as the bearers of a...
