Synopsis

The gripping, epic new historical family saga from the author of A Woman of Substance.

The new bestseller from the author of A Woman of Substance

London 1884: Queen Victoria is Empress of India and Britain is at its peak of worldwide power. James Falconer works as a barrow boy in a flourishing London market, but hungers for more.
Alexis Malvern is the only child of the market's owner, Henry Malvern. Raised by her father and heir to his businesses, she has no interest in marriage.

Turning away from family tradition, young James Falconer dreams of building an empire of stores like Fortnum and Mason's. He believes that Henry Malvern could offer him a way to climb beyond his beginnings, part of the new middle class. But tragedy and betrayal threaten the dreams of both James and Alexis - and jeopardise everything they hold dear...

Moving from Victorian London to the vibrant port cities of England and France, from gracious stately homes in Gloucestershire to the decadence of Paris, Master of his Fate launches an unforgettable new historical series.
