Adam finds refuge in his passionate relationship with the gypsy-bred Senara - whom he is determined to marry. His twin, St John, decides to throw his hand in with the notorious Sawle brothers, smugglers who rule Penruan by intimidation, and the vengeful Meriel Sawle, now St John's wife, has her own vendettas to solve. Each one of the Lovedays must sacrifice personal ambition and unite - but to some, sacrifice does not come easy...
