About the Book

As civil war rages across England, the weak prove their courage and the privileged become traitors

Book Synopsis

The highly anticipated reissue of the du Maurier classics American fans have been waiting for

"Daphne du Maurier has no equal." --Sunday Telegraph

In war-torn Cornwall, one woman's courage will defy fate and ignite a love story that haunts the ages.

England's Civil War tears families and loyalties apart, but nothing can break the spirit of Honor Harris. Her path collides with Sir Richard Grenville--a brilliant, ruthless general whose passion for her is as wild as the storm-battered Cornish coast.

Soon afterward tragedy strikes and they are separated by betrayal and war. Decades later, an undaunted Sir Richard, now a general serving King Charles I, finds her. Finally they can share their passion in the ruins of a great estate--one last time before being torn apart, never to embrace again.

Perfect for readers who crave historical fiction, The King's General sweeps you into a Cornwall lush with danger, longing, and a heroine whose strength and resilience will linger in your heart long after the final page.
