Rosalind Carey has been left to care for her younger brothers and sister in Rockwood Castle, a grand but decaying Devon house burdened by debt. With their parents absent and the estate close to ruin, Rosalind is determined to keep the family together and prevent their tenants and servants from losing their livelihoods.

Her plans are disrupted by the arrival of Piers Blanchard, a distant cousin from Cornwall who claims a right to Rockwood and offers to settle its debts. Rosalind suspects that his assistance may conceal an attempt to take the castle, but a closely guarded family secret forces her to reconsider both his motives and her own feelings.
