The Ember Rose

For a clever British barrister like Jacob Circe, the wasteful years of revolutions in the eighteenth century had brought opportunity to serve his betters along with the chance to enrich himself. When the fruits of his labor turn sour, he finds himself seeking a sanctuary far away in the wild Kanois country of Virginia. But the evils he has created are too powerful to be left behind. Even as he gathers his family under his wings, they are threatened by his own desires as well as outside forces he cannot control.
