The story features Roger Trevanion, who, despite holding an esteemed family name, finds himself in dire financial straits. The narrative revolves around his struggles to secure his estate while embroiled in the fate of Nancy Molesworth, a maid whose freedom is threatened by the scheming Killigrew family. At the start of the story, we meet Roger Trevanion as he grapples with the reality of his family's diminishing fortunes after the death of his father. Overwhelmed with debt and encouraged by his lawyer to consider a marriage to remedy his financial woes, Trevanion finds himself at an internal conflict regarding women, stemming from a past rejection. His fortunes take a dramatic turn when he is summoned by Peter Trevisa, who offers him an intriguing deal: to rescue Nancy Molesworth from her guardianship under the Killigrews in exchange for the restoration of Trevanion’s titles and profits. As he embarks on this risky venture, tensions mount, with hints of adventure, conflict, and romance unfolding amid the rugged backdrop of Cornwall. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
