Synopsis
In the wake of the Titanic’s tragic sinking, two families are thrust into a tumultuous feud that will forever alter the course of their lives. Magda Asparov, a young woman from Ukraine, was set to marry wealthy businessman Matthew Turner III. As fate would have it, the Titanic disaster intervened, leaving Magda near death and with no memory of her past.
Reborn as Maggie, she finds herself aboard The Lady Jane, under the care of Richard Blackmore, the ship’s master. A whirlwind romance blossoms between them, but their happiness is short-lived. Turner, believing Magda survived the sinking, enlists the help of William Harker to track her down.
When Harker discovers Maggie living with Blackmore, Turner’s jealous rage ignites a series of events marked by mental illness, betrayal, murder, and corruption. As the feud escalates, Blackmore is driven to seek answers and vengeance for all that has been lost.
The Brittle Land is a gripping tale of love, loss, and revenge set against the backdrop of one of history’s most infamous disasters. As the two families navigate the treacherous waters of their feud, they must confront the darkness within themselves and face the consequences of their actions.
