Publisher's Synopsis
A brilliant recreation of the love shared by Sir Richard Grenvile -at once the King's General in the West and the most detested officer in his army - and Honor Harris of Lanrest, as brave as she was beautiful, during the years when Cornwall echoed to the brisk tattoo of Royalist drums and the alien challenge of rebel bugles. Honor makes Richard's arrogance her burden, loving without regret in victory or defeat, and finally learning the shameful secret of Menabilly.
