Description

Set in the grand yet modernized halls of Llancader Castle, the story follows the three St. Austell daughters as they navigate the expectations of aristocratic life. Their mother, determined to compensate for the lack of a male heir, has given them an education meant for boys, fostering a curious blend of confidence and awkwardness that colors every conversation in the polished rooms overlooking the River Wye.

When the eldest sister, Elizabeth, and the youngest, Catherine, turn their attention to the handsome Rees Pennant, gossip and rivalry begin to stir beneath the castle’s genteel surface. Their whispered speculations reveal a longing for love and status that clashes with their father’s practical ambitions and the austere guidance of their unconventional duenna. As summer heat settles over the estate, the sisters’ playful banter hints at deeper entanglements that could reshape their futures and test the fragile balance between duty and desire.
