Inhaltsangabe

A quiet coastal village becomes a stage for war, love, and sharp turns of fortune in Springhaven’s harbor lore.

In a tranquil Sussex valley, Springhaven sits tucked beneath the hills, where a bustling fishing community and a storied hall shape daily life. The Darling family, long settled inside the village gate, governs land and tradition, while the sea brings news of distant danger. Dolly Darling, clever with a telescope and bright with romantic dreams, longs for excitement beyond this peaceful shore. At her side, the Tugwell family keeps watch over the harbor and its fishermen as tensions rise with threats of invasion and the lure of prize money.

Across this world moves a cast of characters who test loyalty, courage, and old loyalties—from the admiral’s reach of Springhaven Hall to the bold if troubled return of a landed Carne. The village schemes, trades, and ambitions collide as ships are built, traded, and seized, and the people of Springhaven face a changing balance of power, fortune, and love.

• Follow Dolly’s quiet longing for drama as she uses a powerful telescope to glimpse distant ships.


• Watch Zebedee Tugwell and his son Dan navigate duty, work, and a nation at war.


• See a town where fishing wealth and maritime trade shape daily life and alliances.


• Meet visitors, rivals, and a merchant with high-stakes plans that ripple through Springhaven.

Ideal for readers drawn to historical fiction set at the edge of war, where small towns hold large secrets and personal loyalties are tested by national strife.
