- Synopsis
- In CRIMSON IS THE EASTERN SHORE, the reader is taken through one of the most action-packed periods of history -- the War of 1812 in the setting of America's most beautiful and romantic stretch of land and water, the Eastern Shore of Maryland. In this stirring story, Don Tracy creates his most memorable character, Anthony Worth, called by many The King, the most powerful politician, planter and plotter within "three days' hard riding or close-hauled sailing". Worth has his magnificent plantation, Fairoverlea, the seat of his Kingdom, but he also has a grim secret on which his fortune is based, and which, if disclosed, would bring him shame and ruin. To keep disaster from touching his daughter, Gracellen, Anthony Worth resorts to every dark device of intrigue and violence. Imperious Gracellen, pampered daughter of The King, is the most precious thing in life to him and he works and schemes to protect her from the doom that threatens both of them. This threat is personified by Task Tillman of Larkspur Hill, the near- penniless neighbor who has loved and been loved by Gracellen since both were children.
