Description

Prince Charles Edward enters Manchester as Atherton Legh faces Rawcliffe Hall secrets, a lost heir, and the hard choice between Constance and the cause. Spoken as when the Young Chevalier's welcome still leaves a lover choosing which oath will ruin him.

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.
