In Far Haven, the author starts by reminding the reader about the Ansgar family history and then weaves Lady Eva Ju'n's death into the story. Her accident results in Keridwen returning to The Manse to manage the mansion and horse farm which belong to her family. Her marriage is unexpected, though none can deny the love Keridwen and Justin share. About this same time, Tadeas is defending his wife and accidentally kills a nobleman. To protect him, his lawyer sends him to a prison until he can testify. The evil men there plan to kill Tadeas so records are sent to the mainland that he had died. Forgotten, Tadeas marries Vera after a slave ship sells the men a boatload of women. The story then brings us to Loris Kennet; the youngest tribune in the elite Royal Winged Cavalry in Pomerania. Assigned to escort a ship at the last minute was almost his death, and destroyed his reputation and career. With Keridwen's help, Loris was able to recover his dignity and pride. Tadeas and Loris were able to help each other clear their names and find justice for the enslaved women and children.

Far Haven begins the first three chapters with different key people and events in which Aleksandra Layland will shape the rest of the novel. Aleksandra Layland brings each of her characters to life, giving them passion, drive, and unique features. She stresses acceptance of those who are different in appearance, spiritual belief, and on multiple academic levels. I have enjoyed reading about how close these families are and how important it was for them to support each other. Far Haven: A Quest for Certitude, A Fight for Justice is the 18th book in this detailed account of the Ansgar family. It can stand on its own, but I have found reading them in order more beneficial in getting to know this family intimately.
