My Amber Land tells the sweeping story of Captain Harry Smith and a young Spanish girl, Juana. They are thrown together after the siege of Badajoz in 1812 during the Napoleonic war. Harry has a strong sense of duty and is very stubborn whilst Juana is feisty with a rebellious streak, an explosive and passionate combination. Harry promises to protect Juana but he is faced with confrontation from his friends and colleagues. He settles the situation the only way his hot head will allow him and marries Juana. As they venture through war torn Spain, Juana learns many things on her journey of life, loss, laughter and forgiveness. She is cast into a world she could never have imagined. But nothing could quite prepare them for the biggest battle of them all... love.

Battle’s Triumph I parry the first sword that slashes at me, and as I swing away from it, I manage to cut through the wrist that holds it. A minor victory, since the creature simply switches to another hand, but one that makes me realize these creatures can be beaten. “They bleed!” I shout at the top of my lungs, then steady my feet and swing once more. This time a hideous black head falls to the ground at my feet. My heart pumps loudly now, and my spirits soar. I don’t know what chance I have in this battle, but in some ways I don’t care. No matter what the outcome, to have discovered at last this newfound joy I have, a joy in battle—in fighting for good—is even worth dying for… At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

"Ambitious and imaginative, believable and compelling." The ScotsmanNorthern Britain, Iron Age. Pytheas of Massalia, the famed Greek explorer, roves the icy northern lands of Celtic Britain and beyond, in search of amber and other precious goods. But he also craves another encounter with Rian, the slave he fell in love with during a former voyage, who continues to haunt him. Rian, however, has other ideas. She has no desire to see Pytheas, and she won’t let go of her family, or her freedom, without a fight. As Pytheas navigates plundered riches, feuding warlords and an ancient curse, will he succeed in finding what he set out for?

The Amber Seeker revisits the unforgettable cast of characters we met in The Walrus Mutterer, weaving another visceral tale of loss, longing and revenge in 320 BC.
