THE ASTONISHING INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER
"An extraordinary historical romance... One of the best to date." Chicago Sun-Times

England, 1635. Ten-year-old Thomazine Heron's life is shattered when a deadly illness robs her of her father and brother, leaving her an orphan and heiress. Torn from her beloved home and sent to live with distant relatives at the grand Goldhayes estate in Suffolk, Thomazine must adjust to a new world of unfamiliar faces, rigid expectations, and buried secrets

"I had been reared in an independent spirit, you see, and I took against being pushed hither and thither like a backgammon counter."

As she comes of age during the turbulent years leading to the English Civil War, Thomazine's journey is one of transformation -- from spirited child to determined young woman, fiercely loyal to those she loves and unwilling to submit to the dictates of society. In a world where family ties are tested and political allegiances are shifting, she finds strength, friendship, and the first stirrings of forbidden love.

As Thomazine grows into young womanhood at Goldhayes, amidst the tightening grip of civil unrest, her path crosses with that of Francis Heron -- her cousin by blood, but her equal in spirit. What begins as childhood camaraderie deepens over the years into a bond laced with tension, loyalty, and a love neither of them dares name. In a time when duty and bloodlines dictate fate, Thomazine finds herself torn between the world she was born into and the one her heart longs to claim.

"I shall just refuse. There's little they can do to me, and whatever they do can't last forever. I'm a Heron, you see, and our motto is 'No surrender'."

The Moon in the Water is the powerful first volume in The Heron Saga, perfect for fans of Sharon Penman, Philippa Gregory, and Diana Gabaldon.
