Kingdom Coal - Kate Taylor - Bog

Evil and a half millennium old, older even, a long hidden diamond and chain are rediscovered and unleashed once again upon all who suffer the desire to wear it, wish it for another or fear its pain. It had been made by a dark force in the time of Bavaria's Isabeau. Its sinister, destructive ways reach into both Seattle in the new millennium and into Victorian England at the onset of its Industrial Revolution.A politician of present day Seattle, and five of the Victorian Era, a headstrong female coal miner, a coal mine owner, his wife and daughter and a Quaker barrister find their fortunes forged in the diamond's core.That core comes for each one of them as the shadow of death or the messenger of misery; misery so cruel that it's akin to death.It's also a tale of indomitable female strength as well as of murder, a scorching trial, a hanging and mystery as well.
