Lady Tree Trilogy Series

This trilogy immerses readers in the tumultuous era preceding the English Civil War, following the ongoing saga of John Nightingale and Zeal Beester. The narrative journeys from the semi-fantastical landscapes of New World adventurers to 17th-century Amsterdam, and into a rural England on the cusp of vanishing forever. These distinct yet interconnected stories can be enjoyed in any order, offering a rich historical tapestry with a hint of the extraordinary.

    Amsterdam, 1636. Die ganze Stadt ist vom Tulpenfieber befallen. In speziellen Börsen, aber auch in den Wirtshäusern und Gassen der Metropole werden unscheinbare Blumenzwiebel gegen Gold gehandelt. Auch der Engländer John Nightingale hofft, dort durch Spekulation ein Vermögen zu verdienen. Denn das allein könnte ihn von einer alten Schuld befreien und ihn vor dem Tod durch den Strang retten. Verfolgt von seinem Erzfeind Malise, gerät der unerfahrene junge Mann in den Sog eines fulminanten Abenteuers, das zu bestehen fast unmöglich erscheint.

  2. Quicksilver

    • 464 pages
    • 17 hours of reading

    Not exactly a sequel, but a novel written in parallel with the superb The Lady Tree, in other words sharing some of the same characters but entirely independent of the first book. Is there such a thing as a werewolf? Quicksilver is no horror story, but in its fabulously vivid recreation of 17th Century England and Holland, it portrays a young man suffering from lycanthropy -- when a man believes himself to be a wolf. This was a time when medical science was undergoing vast changes and the discovery of the New World was yielding up all sorts of new plants and drugs, and Christie Dickason weaves a pulsating story of intrigue, adventure and romance around this extraordinary set of circumstances.
