THE THOMAS RUSHWORTH CHRONICLES

Begin with Chronicle I: Missing Sparks

[ START READING ]

England, 1590.

Thomas Rushworth never expected to become the man of the house. But after the death of his father, responsibility arrives sooner than he imagined.

Amid the windswept Pennine moors, where dry-stone walls divide the countryside and survival is never guaranteed, Thomas finds himself navigating a world shaped by hardship, loyalty, and hidden danger. His future appears settled through an arranged marriage to Agnes, yet what begins as duty slowly grows into something deeper.

But darker forces are at work.

Rumours spread through the village. Secrets are concealed behind closed doors. Deceit, trickery, and hidden motives threaten not only Thomas's future but the safety of everyone he loves.

The Chronicles are a gripping historical mystery set in Elizabethan England—a story of family, love, betrayal, and survival in a world where ordinary people live under extraordinary pressure.

As long grasses whisper across the moors and suspicion grows with every passing day, Thomas must uncover the truth before those responsible destroy everything he holds dear.
