Krátky popis
Handsome, distinguished and decidedly dashing, Theo, the Duke of
Eaglefield, has the world, and most of its women, at his feet. But
he takes all this attention for granted and is becoming tired and
bored by it all. In fact his friend, Harry Hampton, tells him that
he has no concept of the challenges and complexities faced by the
ordinary man and that the people he encounters see only his riches
and rank rather than the man himself. Protesting that this is
untrue, Theo accepts Harry’s challenge to walk the fifty miles from
Brighton to his house, Eagle Hall, in Berkshire incognito and
mixing with commoners along the way. He stands to lose his finest
pair of horses should he fail and so he sets forth, leaving behind
the glamour of Brighton’s Beau Monde. The second morning of his
pilgrimage, Theo comes across a beautiful young girl, Alysia,
standing precariously at the edge of a deep pool next to a weir.
She seems to be praying and, instinctively, he knows that she is
about to plunge to her death in the river. After leading her to
safety he hears all about her cruel and grasping stepfather who
murdered her mother and who is now bent on seizing her sizeable
inheritance by marrying her off to his friend, Lord Gosforde with
whom he will share the spoils. Theo is transfixed by Alysia,
thinking it quite ‘impossible for anyone to be so beautiful’.
Almost instantly he finds himself falling in love with this ‘very
young angel who has fallen out of Heaven by mistake’ and he decides
to take her on his journey on foot. But can he keep Alysia away
from her murderous stepfather and be able to reach the safety of
Eagle Hall unscathed?
