The Falconer. The Dawnland Chronicles, #2

When does a search for justice become a mission for revenge?When Tabby Post, a fiercely independent and dedicated healer, confesses to cold-blooded murder, she must fight save herself from the gallows. After her father is condemned for a crime he did not commit - the murder of his brother - Tabby embarks on a search for the real killer. She soon comes to the aid of a young mother, Polly Cool, and she is drawn into the chilling world of her husband, Jeremy, a heartless preacher whose congregation is bound by fear and terror.
But when tragedy strikes, Tabby is pushed to the brink of her morality and must risk all that she loves and her code of ethics in her pursuit of justice. During her journey, Tabby comes to know a wealthy businessman, a character we originally met in Book 1 - The Hummingbird and the Sea. She forms ties with his family, including his pregnant wife and mystical sister, who senses an unfathomable connection with the healer.
And always at the forefront of Tabby's thoughts is Kirkcaldie, the handsome and enigmatic Governor's Surveyor with whom she is romantically tied. Set in Maine in 1725, The Falconer is a tale of sacrifice, loss and new beginnings.
