Neither Hope nor Fear

EXMOOR - AUTUMN 1856 Jack Tucker remains farming high on Exmoor at Sherdon but cannot escape the influence of his family. From the remote grandeur of Hartland Abbey with its stormy, wreck-strewn coastline to the Palace of Westminster and, finally to Buckingham Palace itself, the Tuckers leave their mark. However, the bitter feud with the Northborough family endures. It is as though a curse, foretold by a soothsayer, has condemned both families to tragedy, violence and bloodshed. Yet throughout Jack is blessed with the support of Frederic Knight and his son, Sebright. Tuckerand Knight are drawn ever closer by the spirit of Lady Katherine Darcy, their bond of friendship surviving all that fate and the barren heights of nineteenth-century Exmoor have to offer. In the final part of this great love story, Paddy King-Fretts once again brings us an enthralling tale, one of high drama and of piercing insight as to what life must have been like on those wild Exmoor heights all those years ago. --Cover
