About the Author
Stanley John Weyman (1855 - 1928) was an English novelist sometimes referred to as the "Prince of Romance". He traveled widely with another bestselling novelist, Henry Seton Merriman. While for years his historical romances enchanted thousands of readers - Robert Louis Stevenson and Oscar Wilde were among the enthusiasts - today his books are largely neglected.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book follows the efforts of Sir George Soane, a wealthy, pleasure-seeking aristocrat, as he ventures into a night-time adventure that leads him to stumble upon a murder and a distraught young woman seeking revenge. Set against the backdrop of 18th-century Oxford, this book delves into themes of justice, social class, and morality, as Sir George, despite his initial reluctance, is reluctantly drawn into the woman's quest to avenge her father's death. The author paints a vivid picture of the era's societal norms and the stark contrast between the privileged classes and the commoners, offering a glimpse into the lives of those often overlooked by history. Through Soane's character, the book explores the complexities of honor, duty, and the clash between personal desires and the expectations of society. As the plot thickens and Soane becomes entangled in a dangerous pursuit, readers are left to question the true nature of justice and the lengths one should go to achieve it. Ultimately, this book offers a thought-provoking examination of the human condition and the choices we make in the face of adversity.
