About the Books
The Fairmile Series traces one family's fortunes across seventeenth-century England and beyond, anchored by Alinor Reekie, a herbalist and midwife whose resilience carries the story through decades of upheaval. Tidelands opens in 1648 during the English Civil War, as Alinor, trapped in poverty and an abusive marriage, encounters a fugitive on the treacherous marshes and is drawn into a web of danger, superstition, and forbidden love. Dark Tides picks up the story twenty-one years later in 1670, following Alinor's grown children as old secrets resurface in London and her brother Ned seeks justice across the Atlantic in colonial New England. Dawnlands closes the trilogy in 1685, as England teeters on renewed civil war and Alinor's family becomes entangled in royal intrigue and rebellion. Across all three novels, Gregory blends meticulous historical research with emotionally resonant storytelling. Themes of survival, family loyalty, and the shifting roles of women recur throughout, giving the series lasting depth. Readers who enjoy character-driven historical fiction will find this collection rewarding, as Gregory brings the marshes of southern England, the docks of London, and colonial America vividly to life.
