Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a tale set in 1825 that follows the lives of the inhabitants of Saxondale Castle. Lord Saxondale, a man in his sixties, has recently married a woman young enough to be his granddaughter, Harriet.

The story explores the complex relationships between the characters, including Lord Saxondale's estranged nephew Ralph, who was disinherited after a falling out with his uncle. Ralph, resentful and vengeful, plots to regain his inheritance, while Harriet, determined to protect her newfound status, will stop at nothing to ensure her position. The book delves into themes of ambition, revenge, and the consequences of unchecked desires. It offers a glimpse into the lives of the upper class in 19th century England and the hidden struggles behind their opulent facades.
