Pour The Dark Wine

Pour The Dark Wine

Sixteenth-century Tudor England.

A time of intrigue and chaos, with a country ruled by a cruel and determined monarch. In Henry VIIIâ€™s court a rise to favour can easily be followed by a fatal fall from grace.

Four Seymour children of Wolff Hall stand upon Merlinâ€™s Mound, said to be able to grant wishes, and make ambitious claims for their futures.

Edward, the eldest, wishes to own all the land he surveys.

Thomas, rakish and carefree, wishes to marry the highest woman in the land.

Elizabeth, their half-gypsy cousin, cunningly wishes for the wisdom of Merlin.

And lastly Jane, their plain but romantic sister, wishes that she will one day marry a king.

The four Seymour lives will be inextricably bound with the reign of the ruthless King Henry VIII and his sometimes equally perilous passions and hatreds.

Each of them will find their childish wish granted â€“ but at what price?

All will be at the mercy of the Kingâ€™s bloody reign and victims of their own ambitions as they strive to further the Seymour cause and believe that happiness can be found in powerâ€¦

â€˜Pour the Dark Wineâ€™ is a thrilling and superbly written historical novel charting the perilous climb of the Seymours in Henry VIIIâ€™s court.

â€˜A cracking good plotâ€™ â€“ The Times

Lampitt, has two grown-up children and lives in Mayfield, Sussex, with two large cats.
