Description

Sons of Fire is a Victorian novel of identity, inheritance, and hidden connection. Allan Carew inherits a country estate near Matcham and enters an unfamiliar social world, where he is repeatedly mistaken for Geoffrey Wornock, the local squire. Drawn into village life and intrigued by the enigmatic Mrs. Wornock, Allan uncovers unsettling resemblances and buried ties. Braddon builds suspense around family secrets, social position, and the dangerous pull of a past that refuses to remain hidden.
