Ross is able to regain some property he lost many years before. Daughter Clowance has emerged as a great beauty who is pursued by several young men – and coveted by some who are much older. Son Jeremy falls in love – with a young woman, but also with high-pressure steam and what it could mean for the future. Will Ross Poldark finally have an opportunity for revenge on his lifelong enemy?ĭemelza Poldark’s heart is torn between the desire to protect her children and the knowledge that they must be allowed to follow their own hearts. George Warleggan makes an uncharacteristically faulty business move that puts him in a vulnerable position. Ross Poldark, in his role as a Member of Parliament, is sent to observe the fighting and when he returns, his report has an influence that ripples outward and agitates the surface of several different areas. Elizabeth Warleggan’s eldest son, Charles Geoffrey, is a soldier in the Peninsular war – another long-term confrontation between the aggression of Napoleon’s empire in his attempts to take control of all of Europe, and the defense of the English and Irish - in this case, to aid Portugal in their struggle to maintain control of the Iberian Peninsula. This story begins 11 years after the ending of the previous novel. Time marches on for the Poldarks and all of their neighbours.
