About This Book
A young man of good looks and easy manners falls passionately for a woman and soon finds himself estranged from a powerful relative whose influence strips him of home and fortune, forcing him to seek independence. He consults a trusted lawyer, contemplates military service, and adopts new roles that lead into a sequence of discovery, captivity, and maritime adventure. Supported by loyal friends and aided by a mysterious woman who clarifies long-hidden facts, he endures peril, is rescued by a seafaring captain, and sees a tangled secret unraveled, bringing danger to an end and enabling a prospect of reconciliation and romance.
