A centuries-old curse. One haunted estate. Three generations of the Weston family bound by fate, ambition, love and betrayal.
1051, England is in turmoil. The beautiful and angry Queen Edith curses the ground her husband, Edward the Confessor, hunts on and all its future owners. Now a grand manor stands on the estate. For generations, the curse has loomed over its inhabitants — bringing tragedy, loss and a relentless battle for survival . . .
BOOK 1: SUTTON PLACE
In the heart of Tudor England, Sir Richard Weston inherits the magnificent Sutton Place — a sprawling manor that is a poignant symbol of his family’s wealth and status. As the Westons settle into their new home, they soon realise that the manor holds dark secrets, including a centuries-old curse. Sir Richard embarks on a quest to uncover the truth, but with each discovery, he finds himself more ensnared in the estate's tragic history. Can the Weston family escape the curse, or will they fall victim to the same fate as those before them?
BOOK 2: THE SILVER SWAN
18th-century England. Melior Mary Weston is the beautiful heiress of Sutton Place. Her wealth and beauty attract many suitors, but none more than the enigmatic and ambitious Joseph Gage. As political intrigue and the ghosts of the past swirl around them, Melior Mary must navigate a web of love, betrayal, and ambition. Caught between her feelings for Joseph and the looming family curse, Melior Mary must decide whether to follow her heart or protect her legacy. The future of Sutton Place hangs in the balance as Melior faces choices that could change everything.
BOOK 3: FORTUNE’S SOLDIER
Early 19th-century England. John Joseph Weston is the last heir of Sutton Place. He grapples with his family’s crumbling fortune and the dark forces that have haunted his home for centuries. Now he must confront a choice that will determine the fate of his family. Amid betrayals, secrets, and a desperate search for redemption, John Joseph’s struggle to break the curse that has plagued the Westons will come to a head in an unforgettable battle of love, loss, and family loyalty.
From a grand Tudor manor to the political intrigue of 18th-century England, this trilogy weaves a tale of mystery, passion, and the unbreakable ties that bind family to the past.

A must read story
Magnificent and well written. Three stories built around a myth but with historical leanings. A superb read for anyone who respects the efforts of a good author. Thoroughly enjoyed every page.

Absolutely loved this book! Wanted it to keep going.
This is such a good book written by a masterful storyteller. I loved all the characters, the mystics, the lovers, the eccentrics, the ghosts. I loved how the author wove them all together through 3 books and generations of time. I recommend it to anyone who loves reading stories that captivate and immerse the reader in history, romance, and intrigue.
