In 1685 Ned Ferryman returns from New England to support the Duke of Monmouth’s rebellion against James II. His hopes for religious and political liberty lead him toward the Battle of Sedgemoor and the violent punishment that follows the failed rising.

At court, Livia manoeuvres around Queen Mary of Modena and draws Alinor, Alys and Matthew into royal service and colonial investment. The family’s fortunes become tied to political reaction, Barbadian slavery and the transfer of land on the Sussex tidelands.
