But a passionate love threatens her new found independence when John Kendal sweeps her away in a whirlwind of desire. More anxious than ever to have a baby of her own the years fly past Elizabeth on the Heron estate; love grows, feuds break out, war rears its ugly head and her desperation reaches its climax…

1501, Plymouth, Devon. Luke Kendal, the long awaited son of Elizabeth and John, grows up under the loving watch of his mother and step-father but soon he too must face his trials. Irresistibly drawn to the wild Isobel, he risks all in his secret rendezvous with her. Battling with himself he maintains the romance is only temporary but any easing of his conscience is shattered by the revelation that Isobel is with child. Luke Kendal must make a decision: desert Isobel and render his child a bastard, or defile the family honour. The judgement he makes will be called strong by some and weak by others but one thing is for certain – it brings with it terrible repercussions…

Hugo Kendal and his wife Margaret finally receive a royal pardon and are permitted at last to return to their beloved homeland. Most of the family warmly welcome the couple and the news that they are soon to become three. However, despite the smiles Hannah Kendal cannot help but dwell on the threat that Hugo might pose to her husband Simon’s position as Master of Heron. She is not alone; Luke, the father of Simon is acutely aware that Hugo, as his elder brother’s son could declare a more legitimate claim. To complicate matters further, Maria Lessor, a headstrong twelve-year-old verging on womanhood, nurtures a secret love for Hugo and seems willing to stop at nothing to claim him as hers.
