This is the sequel to the popular series, Holy Poison.
Queen Elizabeth I is coming to the end of her reign. The children of the Earl and Countess of Summerville are growing old themselves and their lives have not turned out as their illustrious parents would have wanted.
Richard, the son of Alex Summerville and heir to the Summerville Earldom, is not the hero his grandfather was. He has fallen in love with a Spanish woman, a married woman who he has to visit when her sailor husband is at sea.
Joshua, the current Earl is crippled and hardly able to stand without his sticks. His wife's snobbery has grown worse over the years and comes to a frightening climax when she wants her daughter to marry young Richard, to keep the title in her bloodline.
Estelle has lived a contented life with David, a man she married when she lost Simon, the love of her life. She knows she is also David's second best, but they have managed to be happy enough together. Until she meets Simon again.
