In 1796, impetuous Martha Morgan
becomes the mistress of the struggling Plas Ingli estate, at
only eighteen years old. Though she loves her husband David
dearly, she is desperately lonely in a strange house, and her
quick wit and cutting humour make her as many enemies as friends.
There are mysteries surrounding the great fire that devastated
the estate but Martha's questions about it remain unanswered.
Nobody else seems to realise that their haughty servant Moses
Lloyd, the disinherited son of the local squire, is not as trustworthy
as her husband hopes. The local gentry think that Martha is
far too clever for her own good and indeed it seems inevitable
that she will fall into their trap which is designed to send
her to the gallows. How can she possibly escape?
As a gripping tale in the tradition of Winston Graham’s
Poldark, On Angel Mountain will entrance you.
