An author out of the United Kingdom writes these phenominal books which are based on historical fact...the name of the series is called the Morland Dynasty and these books follow the Morlands for centuries. The very first book, entitled the founding begins in the year 1432 and she is bringing the series to present day. My ambition is to collect the books, read the entire series and then pass them on one day. Although I know for certain there is already 30 books in the series, I am only on number 15 so I have a fair way to go. The name of the Author in case you wonder is Cynthia Harrod Eagles. Her novels are truly AMAZING and also highly recommended by me!
