It seems an ideal place for John and his wife to raise their young daughter, Abigail. However, life in the South is not without its problems and he finds himself clashing with the Gaisfords, a powerful old Cornish family.

But Abigail soon learns she should have heeded her father's warning when she uncovers the secrets Luke has been harbouring about his life... |
