The Dawnland Chronicles #2
The Falconer
At what stage does a search for justice become a mission for revenge?
When Tabby Post, a fiercely independent and dedicated healer, confesses to cold-blooded murder, she must fight to save herself from the gallows.
After her father is condemned for a crime he did not commit – the murder of his brother – Tabby embarks on a search for the killer. Along the way she helps a young mother and is drawn into the chilling world of the woman’s husband, a heartless preacher whose congregation is bound by fear.
When tragedy strikes, Tabby is pushed to the brink of her morality. She must risk all that she believes in, in her pursuit of justice.
During her journey, Tabby comes to know a wealthy businessman, a character we originally met in Book 1 - The Hummingbird and the Sea. She forms ties with his family, including his pregnant wife’s mystical sister, who senses an unfathomable connection with the healer.
Always at the forefront of Tabby’s thoughts is Kirkcaldie, the handsome and enigmatic Governor’s Surveyor with whom she is romantically tied.
Set in Maine in 1725, The Falconer is a tale of sacrifice, loss and new beginnings.

About the author
Jenny Bond
13 books16 followersJenny Bond is an author of historical fiction whose novels have been published in Australia, New Zealand and Europe and whose non-fiction titles have been published in Australia and the USA.
Jenny, an English teacher and an accomplished copywriter and researcher, is currently working on her third novel, expected to be finished early late 2020.
Born and raised in Sydney, Australia, Jenny earned a Bachelor of Arts and a Diploma of Education at Macquarie University. Prior to her reinvention as a writer, she held the position of Head of English at Eaton House The Manor in London’s Clapham Common. Jenny also taught English and Drama for eight years at a selective high school in Sydney.
"I have not spent even one day without a book by my side, so slipping from the act of reading into the act of writing didn't actually seem that much of a change," she says. "I get a little bit lost in the research and writing process and now I couldn't actually imagine life without it. The characters are fascinating to live with and sometimes it can be difficult to finally admit the book is finished, to actually send the manuscript away to the publisher."
Jenny has long been a fan of great historical fiction writers such as Hilary Mantel and Kate Atkinson but also spends quality time with books by authors from other genres such as Jane Harper and Adrian McKinty
Jenny enjoys keeping fit and loves to travel. She lives with her husband in Canberra where they enjoy spending time with their two young sons and their very lively dog.
