Set against the backdrop of the Jacobite Rising in England, the story unfolds in the picturesque moors of Lancashire, following the experiences of Rupert Royd, the heir to the estate of Windyhough. The narrative dives into themes of loyalty, struggle, and personal identity as Rupert grapples with his perceived weakness and familial expectations, while the larger political tensions simmer around him. At the start of the novel, we meet Rupert as he stands alone on the moor, contemplating his insecurities and the challenges imposed by his mother and brother. Rupert feels like an outsider in his own family due to his physical frailties and longing for the acceptance of the gallant image embodied by his younger brother, Maurice. As he interacts with Nance Demaine, a girl who understands his struggles, feelings of rivalry and self-doubt surface when their love line becomes intertwined with his brother's affections. The chapter takes a dramatic turn when Rupert confronts Maurice in a fight, seeking to assert himself. The opening portion vividly portrays the inner and outer conflicts faced by Rupert as the tensions of a pending civil war loom, setting the stage for the larger historical narrative to unfold.
