When her uncle announces her betrothal to his crony, the odious Roland Otton, she is very upset. Then she finds a chance for rescue from an unexpected source when she stumbles upon her uncle and Otton torturing a fugitive Jacobite--who Penelope realizes is her childhood friend Quentin Chandler. Desperate to save both Quentin and herself from the evil pair, she plans an escape that leads to a breathtaking journey across England.
