Aged ten, Thomazin Heron’s father died. Sent to live with Sir Simon Heron, she fell in love with his son, Francis. Years later, after learning of Francis’s death, Thomazin is married to her cousin Sir Dominic Drakelon, a union that was already decided when she was a small child. Thomazin knows she could never love her husband, but what other choice does she have with Francis dead? But soon fate intervenes and the truth reaches her…that Francis is alive. Leaving her newborn baby and her husband to find the man she loves, Thomazin sets out to find Francis, certain of their enduring love. With her best friend, Grainne Sewell, in tow, along with Grainne’s children, Thomazin sets off on her journey, a journey fraught with danger and natural setbacks. A journey that would take weeks before they reached their destination. With injuries sustained along the way, their arrival in Catholm, Scotland is severely delayed, but soon Thomazin finds the man she loves, at the price of deserting her own child. Before long, she finds herself losing Francis again to the urgent demands of Montrose’s cause in Scotland. Time and again, the chains of fate try to tear Thomazine and Francis apart, through siege and battle, through the evil designs of men, yet one day, some day, the chains of love must prove stronger… The Chains of Fate is a heart wrenching tale of enduring love, loyalty and betrayal.
