The Marquis of Westmarch

Meriel Longmaster, Marquis of Westmarch, is handsome and well-liked, rich and determined. But he is not content with his lot in life. For years this young nobleman has hidden a secret which, if revealed, might bring him either peace and happiness or utter ruin.

Only Florimund Juxon, once his tutot and now his steward, knows the truth. But the Marquis, bored with Juxon and a little afraid of him, wishes to share his burden with one other person. Instead of confiding in his beautiful cousin, Berinthia Wu=inyard, he chooses another man, the shy giant Knight Auriol Wychwood. When he does so, his life changes immediately, and not in a way that he had anticipated.

Intricate and accomplished, The Marquis of Westmarch is a glittering tragedy set in a fantasy land.
