The compelling continuation of the Ramsey family saga begun in The Stonewycke Trilogy. In book three, The Lady of Stonewycke, Maggie and Ian Duncan were reunited along with the restoration of their birthright to Stonewycke.

The first two decades of the twentieth century were rushing to modernize themselves, bringing profound changes to the heirs of the once magnificent Stonewycke estate. The Victorian Era was over; world politics had been revamped with the Great War. Social, economic and spiritual traditions were discarded like button shoes. The gulf between Maggie's world and Allison's seemed to be marked in centuries, not decades.

The Scottish town of Port Strathy in 1931 has grown but is beginning to feel the effects of the Depression. The Stonewycke fortune is being stretched to its limits as the family tries to bolster the town's economy. With Allison representing a new generation susceptible to change and corruption, the family is once again at the crossroads of choices which will determine its destiny.
