Fauna, the beautiful quadroon slave-girl heroine of Gold for the Gay Masters, had a daughter Fleur, as beautiful, as fatally captivating as herself. This is Fleur's story. The story of an arranged marriage to the forbidding Baron of Cadlington, of her love for the young artist Peveril, of the darkly-predicted black heir who is born to her, of her fiery attempts to find escape, revenge - and fulfilment, of the restless urges that burn in her fated blood. Denise Robins has written another great historical novel, full of fire, passion, romance, excitement, high drama and adventure, capturing all the swagger and zest of its time.
