The blood of heroes beats in spirited Matilda Duncastle's veins. Born to one of Britain's legendary military families, Matilda was a direct scion of Empire. And ever in her heightened imagination, she heard the rat-a-tat of the Duncastles' most previous heirloom, the Salamanca Drum-the drum that had sounded to lead one of the Duke of Wellington's regiments into war.
Nestled deep in the Somerset countryside, Matilda's stately home, Sanctuary, was a memorial to those fiery, dedicated Duncastles. Its walls displayed their portraits in full regimental regalia; its Death Room housed their trophies-the faded, battle-stained colors, the tarnished sabers, the broken lances-Matilda Duncastle's legacy of valor and steel.
