Ross Poldark returns from war wounded, bitter, and certain that life has moved on without him. But Nampara is not empty. Joshua Poldark still rules it with old fire, and Grace Poldark has kept the house beautiful, warm, and alive.
When Ross learns Elizabeth is promised to Francis, he is forced to rebuild his life from the ruins of what he thought he wanted. Then Demelza Carne arrives at Nampara: bruised, hungry, sharp-tongued, and impossible to ignore.
Across love, betrayal, grief, war, children, death, scandal, and survival, Joshua and Grace stand at the roots of the Poldark family. They cannot stop every tragedy, but they can help keep Nampara standing.
