Synopsis

Set against a somber funeral in Arden village, the excerpt follows Paul Annesley as he inherits a dramatic change in fortune. He grapples with new power, rivalries, and the pull of a captivating world beyond his former, humble life. At the same time, Edward Annesley, Sibyl Lingard, Alice, and Gervase Eickman move through social circles where affection, duty, and pride tug in different directions.
