  Following the death of her parents, Sophie is sent to live with relatives in London, where she is treated like a servant. Later, her chance to escape an imposed life of hardship comes in the form of Daniel Clayton - a formidable explorer and photographer. Sophie agrees to his proposal of a loveless marriage, but this union plunges her into the midst of a family feud. When Daniel disappears in South Africa during a search for his lost brother, Sophie is left to cope alone in the wilds of Northumberland. Torn between her missing husband and a growing affection for her friend and tutor, Thomas Bixby, Sophie faces unforeseen treachery, a terrible secret in her husband's past and her greatest dilemma yet.
