'Can a person ever be free of their past?

'Boston 1735: A young lawyer discovers justice is not blind after becoming frustrated and disheartened by the inequality and prejudice he witnesses each day. Overwhelmed by a sense of powerlessness, he turns vigilante, meting out violent justice to wrongdoers. But when his rage pushes him over the edge, he is shown it is his own demons he must battle. 

'Cornwall 1707: Blessed with beauty and intelligence, a girl attempts to control her own destiny but is thwarted by her violent father and the constraints of her birth. When a handsome naval Lieutenant arrives in her small fishing village, she finds love and with it a chance of escape, but to a new life that is no less menacing than her old one. 

'Book three of The Dawnland Chronicles welcomes back old friends and introduces new faces. The Lark’s Call is a tale of love, justice, and a bond that reaches through time and across lives.' (Publication summary)
