About This Book

A young man summoned to his dying grandfather's bedside inherits not only an estate but a family preoccupation with honour and a whispered disgrace tied to another son. Sworn to protect the family name, he becomes entangled in romances, rivalries, and mysteries that lead him from manor-house intrigues to Breton soil. Encounters with cousins, sudden disappearances, duels, and secret pasts produce a sequence of revelations, confrontations, and a final attempt at atonement as loyalties and identities are tested.
