The Cornishe Chronicles blends historical fiction with supernatural elements and follows the gripping saga of an 18th-century werewolf and his sons.
From Book 1: All he wanted was his freedom. Instead, he became a monster.
Jamaica, 1766: Cyrus, the mixed race son of a white plantation overseer and a black slave woman, has always yearned for freedom. When he learns of a planned revolt by the Maroons, the native free blacks, he grabs his chance and escapes to join the rebellion. But Cyrus's plans are shattered when he is recaptured and imprisoned, and he is shocked to discover that his father is a werewolf. He learns he will inherit the curse forever unless he kills his father and severs the lycanthrope bloodline. As the English scientist Melchior Croll abducts both father and son to study the secret of immortality, Cyrus is torn between his loyalty to his father and the desire to be free. He must find a way to save himself and his father, or become doomed to a life of savagery and bloodshed.
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.”
