Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Portentous History
He was content to remain, with the few hundreds a year that were his by inheritance, in the House on the Road between the stone-quarries and Tuchan. He was con tent to be out of life, to own himself beaten, and nothing now, after three such remote years, seemed worth having save the valley's silence and the majesty of the mighty mountains.
