About This Book

The narrative follows the lives and loves of families on a Maryland manor in the mid-seventeenth century, tracing personal loyalties, inheritances, and rivalries set against Catholic–Protestant and Cavalier–Roundhead tensions. Central threads portray a widow’s efforts to shield her son, a young gentleman whose fortunes and honor are tested, and the interwoven fortunes of neighboring households as disputes, alliances, and romantic attachments shape their fates. Episodes move between domestic intimacy and public confrontation, offering episodic adventures and social ritual while exploring duty, courage, and shifting loyalties in a colonial frontier community.
