Description
When the invitation came, Juana Brett was delighted. A chance to escape from the grey dankness of England, a chance to visit her happy childhood home at the Castle of the Rock, and, above all, the opportunity to escape the petty tyranny of her stepmother.But when she arrived in Portugal, Juana realised that the implications which lay behind Napoleon’s proposed attack on Portugal contained great urgency in relation to her own life there. Caught up in the affairs of state, aware that the trip to Portugal has been ‘arranged’, enmeshed in the machinations of the terrifying Sons of the Star, she finds that even at the Castle on the Rock the atmosphere is charged with doubt and suspicion.
