Dona St Columb flees the superficial world of the Restoration Court to find solitude at Navron, her husband's secluded Cornish estate. Among its hidden creeks and woods, she encounters a fugitive French pirate—a man as forbidden and thrilling as the freedom she craves. Du Maurier weaves a tale of passion and rebellion, where a woman discovers that escape from one life may mean surrendering to another entirely.
