It’s time for a bit of cat racing, a sinister mystery, and a light touch of gothic menace. Add the signature Sherbrooke grit and wit and voila, you have Pendragon.
Here’s to the next generation–Tysen Sherbrooke now has four sons and Meggie, age 19. Her almost-cousin, Jeremy Stanton-Greville, Sophia Sherbroooke’s brother, the man Meggie has held in silent adoration since she was thirteen years old, unknowingly breaks her guileless heart. Deeply depressed, she rallies with a hasty marriage to Thomas Malcombe, the earl of Lancaster and a brand new card in the Sherbrooke deck, in the spring of 1824, despite a very nasty rumor involving a local girl.
Thomas takes his bride to Pendragon, a castle on the southeastern coast of Ireland. A monstrous old place, filled with very eccentric folk, Pendragon nonetheless charms Meggie, until she discovers that she’s there for a reason that could lead to disaster.
