About this ebook
After Sir Marmaduke de Chevasse sets his sights on the young Lady Sue, his efforts are thwarted by the arrival of the dashing Richard Lambert. The impending pair become the focal point of the elder’s money-grubbing scheme.
Set in the seventeenth century, The Nest of the Sparrowhawk follows the events within a small Puritan community. One of its members, Sir Marmaduke de Chevasse, is captivated by the young ward, Lady Sue. She is beautiful, charming and popular among both men and women. Yet, Sir Marmaduke’s intentions are not pure of heart. He’s eager to marry Lady Sue to lay claim to her fortune. When another admirer, Richard Lambert, becomes a viable threat, Sir Marmaduke works to exploit his weakness and destroy their potential relationship.
The Nest of the Sparrowhawk is influenced by the social and political norms of the time. It’s driven by deception, intrigue and personal greed. This is a vibrant account of one man’s need to solidify his status by any means necessary.
