This book is the 2nd book in this series, the first one was The Captive and this story follows on from that, and is about Sebastian St Clair otherwise known as Robert Girard - one of the supposed villains in the last book. Sebastian was abandoned in France when he was a boy, despite being an heir to an English Barony, he had to make impossible decisions to survive in the French army. When he returns to England he is known as the Traitor Baron and old enemies keep challenging him to duels to fight for his honour. Sebastian does not think that he will live till his old age as he is asked for numerous duels, so he tries not to accompany his aunt or Millicent very much as he is afraid that they will be hurt because they are associated to him.
Millicent Danforth is a companion to Lady Frederica, Baroness St Clair, the Traitor Barons aunt. She escaped her life to become a companion because she wanted to get away from her cousins and Lady Frederica had given her a life line and taken her in as her employ.
The story then goes on to tell you about Sebastian's past and what he has had to endure and his and Millicent's feelings towards each other as they grow. There are twist and turns to this story, some I never even guessed about, all in all I enjoyed this book more than the first in the series as it flows from one book to the next giving you more insight and depth into the characters that you met in The Captive. I thought I would hate Sebastian but I ended up loving his character, it is a well thought out way to make him a hero.
