About This Book
A wayward young heir returns home as his father lies dying, then embarks on a series of travels and trials that force him to confront the consequences of his recklessness. The narrative moves from fashionable London society to noble households, perilous highways, mountain refuge with pious monks, and moments of personal danger and romance. Along the way encounters with allies and adversaries, mentorship and hardship gradually expose moral failings and prompt slow maturation toward responsibility.
