A tempestuous romance unfolds as Calantha, a young woman bound by family duty, finds herself drawn into a desperate flight with the enigmatic Glenarvon. Haunted by a promise to her aunt and a marriage that now feels like a cage, she seeks refuge in the wild, isolated glen that bears the name of a local legend. The landscape mirrors her inner turmoil, a place where longing and fear clash amid shadows and whispered vows.
Glenarvon, torn between his own ideals and the fierce love he feels for Calantha, confronts the painful consequences of her defiance. Their meeting is charged with sorrow and accusation, exposing the fragile balance between passion and moral restraint. As the pair grapple with guilt, sacrifice, and the looming threat of an unforgiving fate, listeners are drawn into a haunting tale of heart‑ache and the relentless search for redemption.

Best remembered for the line about Byron being “mad, bad, and dangerous to know,” this sharp, scandal-shadowed Regency writer also turned her own world into fiction. Her novel Glenarvon transformed society gossip and private heartbreak into one of the era’s most talked-about books.
