About The Author

Denise Exton

Now resident in sunny Florida, Denise was born and raised  in Southern England, where she could always be found with a book in hand. After years of reading other people's stories, she decided it was time to write on of her own. This is her debut novel.

Wintermere

The story unfolds in a coastal village shadowed by grief and oppression. What begins as mourning over the loss of one man gradually transforms into a movement of defiance. Ordinary people fishermen, mothers, and children become the seedbed of resilience, their sorrow reshaped into strength. This quiet shift, whispered in taverns and shared by firelight, marks the beginning of collective resistance.

At the center stands Henry, a steady figure who does not offer grand speeches or empty promises. Instead, he embodies courage through action and conviction, urging his people to give meaning to loss by uniting against cruelty. His voice becomes the compass guiding villagers toward purpose, turning despair into solidarity.

Across eighty-two chapters, the narrative weaves personal trials with broader struggles for survival and freedom. Each chapter balances intimate portraits of individuals loved ones grieving, families clinging to hope with the rising swell of community determination. Tension grows as small acts of defiance spark larger consequences, binding characters together in an unbreakable fabric of loyalty and sacrifice.
