About This Book

An abandoned infant found near a grand country house is raised by servants and branded as a gipsy, growing up shadowed by snubs from a highborn cousin and the taciturn affection of another youth. Rivalries, jealousies, and a reputed gypsy curse set off a chain of intrigues: a dangerous love triangle, stolen or contested rings, secret parentage, sudden revelations, and episodes of peril, exile, and haunting remorse. The narrative unfolds through episodic chapters that alternate melodramatic incidents with revelations and reconciliations, exploring themes of identity, social prejudice, and the consequences of vengeance.
