Description
Set amid the glittering world of eighteenth-century aristocracy, this sweeping historical saga follows fifteen-year-old Barbara Alderley as she comes of age surrounded by desire, ambition, and family intrigue. Drawn to the dangerously charismatic Roger MontGeoffry, Barbara must navigate the competing wills of her formidable grandmother and her beautiful, manipulative mother while learning the costs of passion and loyalty. Rich in romance, betrayal, political maneuvering, and lavish period detail, the novel explores the power struggles that shape both families and destinies. Its elegant, emotionally charged storytelling brings the scandals and uncertainties of a vanished age vividly to life.
