About This Book

A young heir of an old country house, physically frail and reproached by his family, seeks refuge on the moors and a sense of worth. His quiet life and attachment to a neighboring woman are interrupted by wagers, hunting rides, and escalating violent and political events that propel him into skirmishes, journeys away and back, and tests of loyalty and courage. The narrative follows his maturation through clashes, betrayals, returns, and an uneasy claim to honor, while evoking the moorland landscape as both sanctuary and proving ground.
