17th Century England
England has been fighting a bitter civil war for ten years.
Abigail Chaplin, a young deaf girl, has lost her father who was fighting on the side of Parliament.
With her family now in reduced circumstances, she is forced to work as a servant, but at a Royalist household - the estate of Lady Katherine Fanshawe.
As well as finding her loyalties divided, Abi is soon caught up in a web of sinister secrets which surround the Fanshawe estate.
Just where does her mistress, Lady Katherine, go in the dead of night?
Is she meeting her lover, or is she somehow linked with the robberies committed by a mysterious highwayman?
Shadow On The Highway is based on the real life and legend of Lady Katherine Fanshawe, the highwaywoman, sometimes known as 'The Wicked Lady'. It is the first book in The Highway Trilogy for teens.
