Call of Ravenheart
1660 in Breda, the Netherlands. Catherine de Burre refuses an Anglican Dean, John Wednesday, in marriage – unaware he has blackmailed her father for her hand. Her father’s fate lies in her answer.
Martello Sanchez, a swordsman of exiled Charles Stuart II, encounters Catherine in the forest. He is determined to make her his own bride, sending her a secret code: the call of a raven.
John Wednesday soon discovers that his fiancée has a lover – a mystery rival for her affections. Catherine discovers her father’s treachery, his sin of siring another child: the housekeeper Clancy’s own dark secrets and the truth regarding her mother’s death. She must choose to save her father or elope with Martello.
