Description

The Rookwood claim reaches its reckoning as Turpin's legend, Sybil's doom, and rival bloodlines force a final accounting of love, crime, and inheritance. Ainsworth's closing volume of revenge, sacrifice, and a manor's dark legacy. The curse collects what ambition promised.

Author

William Harrison Ainsworth (1805–1882) was the great Victorian showman of historical romance — a novelist who filled magazines and bookstalls with highwaymen, witches, Tudor courts, and London underworlds. Rookwood made Dick Turpin a legend; Jack Sheppard turned a thief into a popular hero; The Lancashire Witches brought the Pendle trials back to feverish life.
