After a long gap in the chronology, the Poldark family is settled but not insulated from danger. Ross is expected back from a mission connected with Wellington’s army in Portugal, while Jeremy’s rescue of Stephen Carrington introduces an outsider whose presence unsettles the younger generation.

Set in 1810–1811, the novel shifts the saga into the Regency and the Napoleonic Wars. Cornwall remains central, but the Peninsular War, naval service and private risk now frame the lives of Ross and Demelza’s children as much as the older family feud once framed their parents’ generation.
