Publisher's Synopsis
On a bitterly cold day in 1904, the Deravenel family's future changes for ever. When his father and brother die in a fire, Edward is suspicious about the circumstances and vows to seek the truth, avenge the deaths and take control of the business empire usurped from Edward's great uncle 60 years before. With an ambitious wife by his side, and his mistress a constant in his life, Edward succeeds in becoming the glamorous head of the Deravenels. But when betrayal comes from within, catastrophe threatens to destroy everything as power and money, passion and adultery, ambition and treachery rule.
