Trevethlan: A Cornish Story Vol. II is a historical novel that follows orphans Randolph and Helen Trevethlan as they return to their ancestral castle after a long absence. Upon their arrival, they are confronted by a somber atmosphere that starkly contrasts the joyful memories of their childhood. As they navigate the grief of losing their parents and the uncertainty of their future, they must also face the burdens of family legacy and societal expectations. The Trevethlans are drawn into a web of local discontent and rising tensions, as their return brings to light the deep-seated issues within both their family and the community.
