The Smuggler's Compass
0 - Default Title
Description
On the storm-lashed coast of 1760s Dorset, Jenny Tremain appears to be what society expects: a quiet lighthouse keeper's daughter, mending nets and tending lamps. But by night, she is the Compass-guiding smuggling runs to feed her starving village, all while guarding a far more dangerous cargo: the sacred relics of Bronze Age sanctuaries hidden in sea caves and barrows.
When Captain Rhys Carver, a disgraced naval officer turned revenue man, arrives asking about "antiquities," Jenny assumes he's just another thief in a magistrate's coat. But Rhys isn't hunting brandy-he's searching for his missing sister, last seen investigating the same ancient sites now being looted by a powerful collector known only as the Curator.
Forced into an uneasy alliance, Jenny and Rhys must race across Dorset's chalk downs-from the smugglers' coves of West Bay to the whispering chambers beneath Moonfleet Manor-to stop a man who will burn villages to possess history itself. But as tides turn and trust deepens, Jenny faces an impossible choice: protect the relics... or save the man who's taught her that some truths are worth sharing.
From Seraphina Sinclair, bestselling author of The Vixen's Ledger, comes a richly atmospheric, emotionally gripping historical romance steeped in authentic 18th-century detail, slow-burn tension, and a heroine who redefines courage on her own terms. Perfect for fans of Outlander, The Gown, and The Ashford Affair.
