Meanwhile, Alinor’s brother Ned, in faraway New England, is making a life for himself between in the narrowing space between the jarring worlds of the English newcomers and the American Indians as they move towards inevitable war. She claims Alinor as her mother-in-law and tells her of the death of Rob - Alinor’s son - drowned in the dark tides of the Venice lagoon. The second visitor is a beautiful widow from Venice in deepest mourning. He believes that the warehouse’s poor owner Alinor has the one thing he cannot buy - his son and heir. Now, James Avery has everything to offer: a fortune, a title, and the favor of the newly restored King Charles II. The first is a wealthy nobleman seeking the lover he deserted 21 years earlier. Two unexpected visitors arrive at a shabby warehouse on the south side of the River Thames. Number-one New York Times best-selling author of Tidelands - the “searing portrait of a woman that resonates across the ages” ( People ) - returns with an evocative historical novel tracking the rise of the Tidelands family in London, Venice, and New England.
