But as building work begins on the new village of Plimoth, a brutal winter brings uncertainty for everyone, eroding Jed’s confidence and leaving Desire wondering if she has a future in this unfamiliar land…
Does Desire have what it takes to confront the challenges of her cruel new life, and will Jed be part of her future?
A gripping tale of ambition, hardship, sacrifice and love.
