Davis and Isabella Bunn combine their complementary skills and
experiences in crafting the compelling stories of the HEIRS OF
ACADIA historical fiction series.
John Falconer, a hero readers can believe in, was introduced in
Book 3, The Noble Fugitive. Along with Book 4, The Night Angel,
these last three novels of the series can be appreciated on their
own.
John Falconer, known to most as simply Falconer, is a large,
powerfully built man whose gentle spirit shines through the
physical and emotional scars of his previous life as a slave
trader. His redemption has brought him full circle to the
anti-slavery cause and a personal mission to free every slave he
possibly can.
After the events recounted in The Night Angel, Falconer settles in
a Moravian community on the Underground Railroad. He cherishes his
new wife, Ada, and her son, Matt, whom he loves as his own.
Falconer finally has discovered peace, within and without. When the
unimaginable happens, he and Matt face a loss so searing they can
barely endure another day.
Falconer finds himself back on board ship--this time with a
father's responsibilities and an assignment of rescue rather than
capture. His course takes him from the eastern seaboard of America
to France, from Marseilles to the shores of North Africa. But
enormous danger, risk of failure and even death challenge him on
the high seas and in the desert's strongholds. He has conquered
many of life's storms, but none as vast as this.
All the while, those inner bondages that have gripped as powerfully
as iron chains are gradually loosening their hold. And a new hope
begins to stir within...
The story of character forged in the fires of grief, loss and
faith
