Description
Relaxed though the morals of Restoration London are, when the Earl of Ravenswood marries a common tavern wrench from Wapping and sets up home with both his wife and mistress, speculation sweeps the Court. Only Sapphira, the new Lady Ravenswood, knows the truth: why the husband she loves cares nothing for her. Soon her notoriety turns to fame, and with fame come suitors for her favours; until at last the Earl is forced to acknowledge his wife--not with love but with burning, murderous jealousy..
