bleak but she finds a reason to carry on- a blossoming romance with Henry’s

brother, Silas.

Silas是詹姆士鎮上第一批的定居者，他從兒時起就在這片土地上長大，對外面世界知道的不多，但是個勤奮的人。當女人們越洋而來時，Alice的出現，讓他和他所認知的世界重新洗牌…

on this land and has known little butdeference and hard work. When Alice

Verity soon sees the realpotential of this beautiful land and knows ifshe is going to be part of this community,she must protect the people she loves.

He is respected forhis diligence and admired for his kind manners;meaning the more calculating inhabitants of thetown underestimate him.He is mesmerized by Jocelyn’s strength ofcharacter but is always one step behind; his lackof boldness leaves Jocelyn seeking stimulationelsewhere.

他是酒館老闆，也會是你見過最仁慈的地主。他的吵嘴功力和酒醉模樣總是娛樂了酒館裡的每人，但他從沒被低估，在吵鬧的背後他有顆精明的腦袋，他愛上Verity，而兩人也將一起度過許多難關…

establishing democracy for some, whilstenabling the servitude of others.
