Description
In the spring of 1816, after the Battle of Waterloo, Gervase Frant, the Seventh Earl of St Erth, returns from the wars to claim his ancestral home at Stanyon. His arrival unsettles a country household shaped by old resentments, family rivalries, and carefully guarded secrets, while the seemingly tranquil life of the estate begins to reveal unexpected tensions. Amid restrained courtship, social propriety, and the slow rhythms of rural society, Gervase and a sensible heroine must navigate suspicion and divided loyalties. With its understated romance, intricate family dynamics, and wry observation of Regency manners, the novel showcases a quietly compelling side of historical fiction.
