England, 1766: Heth, ex-soldier and well-travelled werewolf, is struggling to make ends meet back in England after his time fighting in America and Canada. He seeks to better himself in the world of politics and appears to have struck gold when he is hired by the ambitious lawyer, Richard Lawrence. But Lawrence has plans of his own, and it soon becomes clear he doesn’t have Heth’s interests at heart. In league with the enigmatic Johann Lechte and the terrifying Eleonore Hellmuth, Lawrence is enacting a plan that threatens to undermine everything Heth is working towards. As the true nature of the threat facing Heth emerges, he finds himself fighting not just for his career, but for his very existence.
Book III of The Cornishe Chronicles continues the thrilling adventures of Joseph Cornishe and his sons Cyrus and Gabriel, from Above the Circle of the Moon and Beneath the Silent Moon.
T. M. Tucker: “Working with Bryony Sutherland across the five books of The Cornishe Chronicles has been an absolute privilege. She is far more than an editor — she’s been a mentor who has helped me develop and grow as an author with each volume. Her meticulous attention to detail and deep understanding of narrative structure were invaluable, especially in weaving together the intricate threads and callbacks that span this complex historically-set series. Bryony has an exceptional ability to enhance a story while preserving the author’s unique voice. Her thoughtful guidance and expert insights have elevated every aspect of my writing. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in bringing the world of the Cornishe family to life, and I’m profoundly grateful for her dedication, wisdom and support throughout this journey.”
