The Lazenders, a gilded family, have been the envy and pride of Britain for centuries. But Toby Lazender, their heir, is now mysteriously absent. His sister, Campion, is running the familly estates. But the Fallen Angels - among the most powerful and dangerous men in Europe - are plotting revolution and to succeed they need money and the Lazender fortune can provide it. A web of deceit draws Campion ever closer to a subtle trap. Her only hope of survival lies with the Gypsy - her brother's aloof horse master - a man whose loyalties have always been uncertain.
