About the Book

The Mereland Chronicles: The Crier is set in early sixteenth-century Cumbria. When a young woman is found close to death on the cold sands of Morecambe Bay, Henry helps her is a matter of obligation and duty. She remembers nothing — not her name, not her past — and her survival depends entirely on his expertise.

What begins as duty grows more complex. As their lives intertwine, Henry’s integrity binds him to choices he cannot undo, and the cost of doing what feels right begins to surface in ways beyond his control.

A prequel to the legend of the Claife Crier, the novel imagines how stories are born not from myth, but from human action — taken quietly, with conviction, and followed by lasting consequence.
