Edward Glyver se crió con un padre ausente en una modesta ciudad junto al mar. Sin embargo, la verdad sobre su origen es muy distinta. Cuando por casualidad descubre que es el único heredero legítimo del barón Tansor, no se detendrá ante nada para recuperar aquello que ahora sabe que le corresponde por linaje. Traiciones, muerte, obsesiones y ambición. Éstas son las consignas que Glyver hace suyas. Su camino lo lleva desde las profundidades del Londres victoriano, con sus calles nebulosas, sus burdeles, y sus fumaderos de opio, a Evenwood, una de las más hermosas y encantadoras residencias de Inglaterra. Plagada de engaños, la historia de Edward Glyver está movida por la sed de venganza hacia su temible rival: el poeta criminal Phoebus Rainsford Daunt.
