Through hard work and a single-minded determination, James rises quickly through the ranks, with a loving wife, devoted children, and a lofty position in the Malvern & Malvern Company. But when back-to-back tragedies strike the Falconer home, shattering this idyllic life, it seems as though James might never recover his former glory...until a royal summons gives him the chance to prove that he truly is a master of the game. The first book in an expansive and intricately detailed new historical fiction series from master storyteller Barbara Taylor Bradford, Master of His Fate is filled with drama, intrigue, and Bradford's trademark cast of compelling characters.
