Noble Seed - Brossura

Christine Marion Fraser was born in the Gowan district of post-war Glasgow. She now lives with her husband in Argyllshire. She is the author of three series: the bestselling Rhanna novels, set on the tiny Hebridean island of the same name; the successful King’s series, set in rural Argyllshire and in Glasgow; and her new Noble novels, set in a small Argyllshire powdermill town.

Anna McIntyre, now eighteen, has enjoyed her time of respite while her brutal father Roderick has been sent away to work by Sir Malaroy of Noble House. But little does she know that her life is about to be changed radically – all because of the chance discovery of the Luckenbooth locket given to her years ago by her estranged mother.

Few people know the real story behind the necklace – the untold anguish, remorse, bloodshed and blackmail that have been kept secret for a generation. As events of the past – acts of murder, abuse and outrage – are revealed, the truth finally begins to emerge, but can it really liberate the McIntyre and Noble families, or will the price be too high?

‘Fraser writes with a great depth of feeling and has the knack of making her characters come alive. She paints beautiful pictures of the countryside and their changing seasons’
