The fourth book in the spell-binding Pengarron series Set in Cornwall, in the late 18th century, this new volume in the Pengarron series focusses on the long-standing triangular relationship between Kerensa Pengarron, beautiful wife of Sir Oliver, and her first love Clem Trenchard - a man whom she has tried, unsuccessfully, to forget. The christening of little Harry Pengarron brings old scores to light, bringing Oliver and Clem face to face for the first time in years. But the next generation of Pengarrons must face its own problems, too: Luke, the embittered, crippled heir to the estate, is forced to flee from London after his dealings with a secret and dangerous clique, known as the Society, lead him into trouble. Returning to Cornwall he is determined to build a life for himself independently of his family, yet finds himself reluctantly caught up in their problems.
