This Ravished Land — Pamela Oldfield

1501, Plymouth, Devon.

Luke Kendal, the long awaited son of Elizabeth and John, grows up under the loving watch of his mother and step-father but soon he too must face his trials.

Irresistibly drawn to the wild Isobel, he risks all in his secret rendezvous with her, almost sacrificing his young and innocent fiancée for the daughter of a suspected witch.

Battling with himself he maintains the romance is only temporary but any easing of his conscience is shattered by the revelation that Isobel is with child.

Luke Kendal must make a decision: desert Isobel and render his child a bastard, or defile the family honour.

The judgement he makes will be called strong by some and weak by others but one thing is for certain â€" it brings with it terrible repercussions that threaten to destroy the family legacy …

The Ravished Land continues the saga of the Kendal family as the Heron estate and the responsibilities that come with it are passed down to yet another generation.
