About the Book

Set in the present day in the exotic Tomayon islands, "Chasing The Rainbow" is about two families, the Draymers and the Pendennys and a feud between them that started in the 16th century. When Kathryn, a young woman from the Welsh valleys, agrees to marry Michael Vandrel, the grandson of Drystan Pendenny, she little realises that their path to the altar will be a difficult one. Michael's mother, Ilona, after a long self-imposed exile in the UK because of a bitter quarrel with her father, is returning to the islands. Her husband, Richard, is to become the last Governor General of the two islands that were captured by the English centuries ago and is to oversee their return to the islanders. With independence looming many people now hope that the seven islands will be reunited under one ruling family, but which one? Hallam Draymer is the hereditary overlord but his only son was killed in a car crash many years ago and has no direct heir, only a distant cousin. Drystan Pendenny, however, has three sons and two grandsons, Philip and Michael, and he is determined that one of them shall be the next ruler. As he pursues his ruthless path his sons turn against him and he alienates his grandson Philip; only Michael is left to fulfil his dream. That dream does not include Michael marrying Kathryn. Old secrets are uncovered, sons turn against their own father and another pair of lovers, as well as Kathryn and Michael, get caught in the crossfire as Drystan Pendenny tries to manipulate the lives of those around him.
