Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, the story revolves around the lives of its protagonists, Agatha Ronald and Baillie Pegram, who find themselves entangled in a deep-rooted feud between their families, reflecting the societal tensions of the time. This particular interplay of romance and conflict serves as a lens through which the narrative explores themes of duty, honor, and the impact of war on personal relationships. At the start of the novel, we meet Baillie Pegram as he navigates through the Virginia countryside and accidentally assists Agatha Ronald, leading to an awkward yet intriguing interaction between the two. The scene is loaded with tension stemming from their families' historical animosity, which complicates their budding acquaintance. As Baillie helps Agatha after her horse suffers an accident, their dialogue reveals the underlying societal norms and personal restrictions imposed by their families’ feud. This encounter not only sets the stage for their relationship but also hints at the larger implications of the looming war, foreshadowing the choices they must face as conflict looms over Virginia.
