The Angel Mountain Saga has now accumulated sales of over 70,000. This is Part 7.....
Get your copy now, and enter the enchanting world of Martha Morgan, a VERY imperfect heroine.
This is the darkest and most brutal of all of the stories of the Saga -- with the intensity of a Gothic melodrama. But in spite of the terrifying and tragic events recounted by the heroine, compassion and humanity shine through, and the tale has a truly heart-rending conclusion.
In the Wild West of Wales, in the year 1808, a shepherd is ambushed and left in the roadway, more dead than alive, with three stripes carved across his chest. A note, written in his own blood, is pinned to his skin. It reads "For Rhiwallwn. From Gruddnei." Four sinister men who call themselves surveyors are clearly responsible for this crime and others that follow. It emerges that there is a "campaign of retribution" against selected individuals. Mistress Martha Morgan, a young widow with five children, is at the top of the hit list. As the net tightens around the villains, more is discovered about their backgrounds, their motives and their grotesque methods of working. In a terrifying final confrontation Martha at last faces them, and finds depravity on a scale which she finds almost impossible to deal with.
In this fast-moving tale the key players will be familiar to fans of the Angel Mountain Saga, and other characters who march through the pages of the book include the eccentric Iolo Morgannwg, hot-tempered busybody Charles Hassall, two exotic prostitutes, and a charming and mysterious Irishman called Dominic Cunningham whose life was complicated enough even before he fell in love with Mistress Martha......
This is a story of mystery and intrigue, carrying the reader on a roller-coaster of emotions. It's a thoroughly good read, and I couldn't put it down. -- Referee's Review
Beautifully written ...... the work of an author who is comfortable with the genre, and on top of his game. -- Second Referee's Review
Read it and be very afraid!
