The story unfolds in the context of the 17th-century Maryland colony, amidst the feuds between Catholics and Protestants and the conflicts between various colonial figures. The plot centers around the characters of Elinor Calvert, her son Cecil, and Sir Christopher Neville, as they navigate personal relationships and socio-political tensions of the time.  The opening of the novel introduces us to a wintry evening at St. Gabriel's Manor, where we meet young Cecil Calvert, who is playfully engaging his mother, Elinor, and a priest, as they gather by the fire. Elinor, recently widowed and a grant owner of the manor known as "Robin Hood's Barn," is confronted with the arrival of Sir Christopher Neville, a gentleman seeking to become her tenant. Through conversations and reflections, we learn about her struggles as a widow in a new land, her memories of her late husband, and her burgeoning emotions regarding Neville, who has long held affections for her. The dynamic established in this first chapter sets the stage for the unfolding romance and drama, interwoven with the complexities of 17th-century life in Maryland.
