"If you love historical drama…then look no further."  — Boston Globe  Bernard Cornwell, the perennial New York Times bestselling author of the Richard Sharpe series and "perhaps the greatest writer of historical adventure novels today" ( Washington Post ) joins co-author Susannah Kells for A Crowning Mercy —a breathtaking romantic adventure set against the dramatic backdrop of the English Civil War. The exciting story of a rebellious Puritan woman on a perilous quest for love and fortune, A Crowning Mercy is a must for Cornwell fans as well as for devoted readers of Sharon Kay Penman and Diana Gabaldon.
