Set against the backdrop of late 18th-century Ireland, the narrative explores the lives of Lord and Lady Kingsborough, prominent figures in the Ascendancy class. Their seemingly perfect existence is shattered when Robert King is accused of murdering his wife's cousin amid a turbulent rebellion. This crime, fueled by passion, unravels their family and has significant political repercussions, ultimately signaling the decline of their aristocratic status and lifestyle. Janet Todd intricately weaves personal tragedy with historical upheaval in this compelling tale.
