THE LOST DUCHESS

An epic Elizabethan adventure that follows the ill-fated endeavour to establish the first English colony in America.

***

The Lost Duchess has a thriller’s pace and a high tension love story that moves from the palaces of England to the savage wilderness of the New World.

***

Once a lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth, Emme Fifield’s only hope of surviving the scandal that threatens to engulf her is to escape England for a fresh start in the new America.

Emme joins Kit Doonan’s rag-tag band of idealists, desperados and misfits bound for Virginia, but such a voyage will be far from easy and Emme finds her attraction to the mysterious Doonan inconvenient to say the least.

As for Kit, the handsome mariner has spent years imprisoned by the Spanish, and living as an outlaw with a band of escaped slaves; he has his own inner demons to confront, and his own dark secrets to keep…

***

Ever since Sir Walter Raleigh’s settlement in Virginia was abandoned in 1587 its fate has remained a mystery; The Lost Duchess explores what might have happened to the ill-starred ‘Lost Colony’ of Roanoke.

***

The Lost Duchess was released in hardback in November 2013 and launched at Goldsboro Books, Cecil Court, London WC2. The book will be released in paperback in June 2014.
