Sinopse

Love, wealth and ambition come into conflict during the restoration of the English monarchy in Dark Tides , by Philippa Gregory, author of bestsellers such as Anne Boleyn's Sister and The White Queen .

It is Midsummer's Eve, 1670. Two unexpected visitors arrive at a warehouse on the right bank of the Thames.

The first is a wealthy man hoping to find the woman he abandoned twenty-one years earlier. James Avery has regained everything he lost: his fortune, his title, and the goodwill of the newly restored King Charles II. But he believes the warehouse owner, the impoverished Alinor Reekie, has the one thing his money can't buy: his son, his heir.

The second visitor is a beautiful widow from Venice in deep mourning. Lady da Ricci arrives in London after sending a letter to Reekie Pier with the terrible news of the death of her husband, Rob, Alinor's son, drowned in the dark tides of Venice. She brings with her a baby, whom she claims is Rob's son.

Meanwhile, Alinor's brother, Ned, is a ferryman in the village of Hadley in distant New England. After fighting for the overthrow of King Charles I only to see the subsequent restoration of Charles II, he sought a new beginning in a distant land without lords or masters. However, torn between the newly arrived English and the natives, Ned realizes that their irreconcilable differences are the harbinger of inevitable war.

Alinor writes to her brother to say that she is absolutely certain that her son Rob is alive and that the widow is a charlatan. But how will she be able to prove it?

Set amid the poverty and luxury of 17th-century London, the glittering streets of Venice where ambition is the currency of exchange, and the contested borderlands of the early days of the United States, Dark Tides is a novel about desire—for love, for wealth, for an heir, and for a place to call home.
