THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING PHENOMENON

She left everything behind… for the chance to be forgiven.

England, 1643.
Thomazine Heron has lost everything—her home, her name, and her child—after a devastating betrayal forced her into a loveless marriage. Believing her beloved Francis Heron dead, she gave up her old life. But when she learns the truth—that Francis lives—Thomazine defies convention and sets out through a war-torn country to find him.

Haunted by guilt, driven by love, and burdened by secrets, she embarks on a perilous journey to Scotland. Alongside her faithful friend Grainne, Thomazine braves violence, suspicion, and a bitter winter siege. But at journey’s end lies the most terrifying question of will Francis forgive her?

The Chains of Fate is a gripping sequel to The Moon in the Water, rich with historical detail, emotional depth, and a fiercely courageous heroine. Perfect for fans of Sharon Penman, Philippa Gregory, and Diana Gabaldon.
