Homeland

James Cameron — the clan chief. Hounded by debt and scandal, he heads for the vast wilderness of Upper Canada. There he amasses a fortune that will bless future generations, but leaves a bitter memory that will curse them.

Hugh MacCrimmon — his brave act of defiance makes emigration his only option. In America he will become a legend — and the founding father of a dynasty forever haunted by the shadows of the past.

Angus Ross — victim of a tragedy, transported to the convict colony of Australia, he is left with nothing but his pride. But his family will be left with an empire — and a lust for revenge on the family that blackened their name.

For over a hundred years, these families will help carve empires, create civilisation out of chaos, and fight for their countries. Their paths will cross again: in passion, in hatred, in combat — and in their irresistible urge to claim their cherished heritage.

E. V. Thompson spent nine years in the Navy before joining the Bristol police. He moved to Hong Kong, then Rhodesia and had more than 200 stories published before returning to England to become a full-time award-winning writer.
