For many centuries Plas Einon has been the home of the Einon-Thomas family, and always it is the male heir in the direct line of descent who inherits. There comes a time however at the end of the 1914-18 war when the inheritance falls to a distant cousin whom few of the family have ever seen and who is at the time serving in the army.. Meanwhile, the darkly handsome Gwenllian, unmarried daughter of the late head of the house, reigns at Plas Einon. Upon the return of the new heir she is faced with having to surrender her position to one who in her eyes is in every way unworthy. Although aware of the justice of the new heir's claim, it is a terrible struggle for her to have to accept it...
