Meridon knows she does not belong in the dirty, vagabond life of a gypsy bareback rider. The half-remembered vision of another life burns in her heart, even as her beloved sister, Dandy, risks everything for their future. Alone, Meridon follows the urgings of her dream, riding in the moonlight oast the rusted gates, up the winding drive to a house - clutching the golden clasp of the necklace that was her birthright - home at last to Wideacre. The lost heir of one of England's great estates would take her place as its mistress...
Crowning the extraordinary trilogy that began with Widacre and The Favored Child , Meridon is a rich, impassioned tapestry of a young woman's journey from dreams to glittering drawing rooms and elaborate deceits...from a simple hope to a deep and fulfilling love. Set in the savage constrasts of Georgian England - a time alive with treachery, grandeur, and intrigue--Meridon is Philippa Gregory's masterwork.
