Lucan Savidge was virtually a stranger to Kara when she married him. It was a step she would never have taken had she not been distraught with unhappiness over the end of her love affair with the sweetheart of her youth - but the step was taken, and now it was too late to turn back.

Clare, Lucan himself, and above all Lucan's brother Pryde, his life wrapped in tragedy of Lucan's causing. They were all hard, bitter, unable, it seemed, to love. Just what kind of a marriage had Kara made?
