The Morland Dynasty has weathered all the trials and tribulations of the last
400 years, but can it survive the 20th Century and the 'war to end all wars'?
When Charlotte's father dies, she receives an unexpected letter and learns she
is part of the great Morland family, and heir to a vast fortune. Entry into
Society and a glamorous marriage seem the next steps, but her unconventional
upbringing makes Charlotte rebel against this idle existence.
The Dynasty series continues with 1820s England pioneering the machine age -
gas-lighting, power-looms, and there's even talk of a steam locomotive. For
the wealthy Morland family, too, it is a time of progress and change.
The 14th volume in the DYNASTY series continues the story of the Morland
family, the tragedies as well as the humour of the winter season in the
fashionable city of Brussels, as tension mounts between England and France
after Napoleon's escape from Elba until tragedy looms on the eve of Waterloo.
As the 19th century unfolds, the bloody war against Napoleon continues. For
the Morland family, private problems mirror the turmoil around them. The
happiness of James and Heloise is threatened by his rebellious daughter Fanny,
who is determined to marry the unscrupulous Lieutenant Hawker.
In the Morland Dynasty series, the majestic sweep of English history is richly and movingly portrayed through the fictional lives of the Morland family. It is 1720, and political intrigue is rife as the Stuart-Hanoverian struggle continues. Jemmy, heir to Morland Place, contracts a dutiful marriage to the chilly Lady Mary in order to secure Hanoverian protection and safeguard his inheritance. Morland lives are riven by the '45 rebellion and the bloody massacre at Culloden, and at their lowest point, their fortunes rest in the small hands of Jemmy's daughter Jemima. Intelligent and single-minded, Jemima proves a capable caretaker of the Morland heritage, and although Morland Place and its lands suffer from the excesses of her dissolute husband, her quiet courage earns her an abiding love and loyalty.
The restoration in 1689 enabled the Morland family to restore their own fortunes, but now the Jacobite rebellion brings another threat to their security.
The saga of the Morland family continues as Charles II dies and is succeeded
by James II. The family's world of peace and prosperity give way to rebellion
and discord. Jealousy, betrayal and violent death threaten Annunciata's
children, and the executioner's axe is turned towards the Morlands.
The saga of the Morlands continues with hope reborn as the monarchy is
restored after Cromwell's Commonwealth. For Ralph Morland, the return of the
King is a chance to rebuild the family estates and fortune, and for the
beautiful and ambitious Annunciata, the Restoration brings a journey to
London.
The third volume of the DYNASTY series, first published in 1981, continues the
story of the Morlands fighting for their religion, their inheritance and their
love.
The marriage of Eleanor Courteney and Robert Morland heralded the founding of
the great Morland dynasty. Now Paul, their great grandson is caught up in the
conflict of kings and sees, while his niece Nanette, as maid-in-waiting to
Anne Boleyn, becomes caught up in intrigue at court.
The saga of the Morland family continues as England's peace is shattered by
the outbreak of civil war between King and Parliament. Edmund Morland sees his
family divided when his eldest son, Richard, brings home a young Puritan
bride, while Kit is drawn to the royalist cavalry of Prince Rupert.
