Ross Poldark faces trial at the Bodmin Assizes after being accused over the wrecking and plundering of ships on the Cornish coast. Demelza tries to protect him, but their enemies understand that law, influence and public reputation can be used as weapons as effectively as money.
The novel is rooted in the legal and social world of late Georgian Cornwall. Its central conflict turns coastal survival, wrecking accusations, local poverty and gentry rivalry into a wider question about justice in a society where class and patronage shape the courtroom before a verdict is reached.
