In the second, we see things through the eyes of Thomas and Amelia.
In the first book, the central characters are Jack and Grace, and everything is seen through their point of view. If Jack is proven legitimate, their whole world will be turned upside down. Into this established little picture comes Jack Audley, a former soldier turned highwayman with a disturbing resemblance to Thomas’s dead uncle – his father’s older brother. His grandmother, however, is a stodgy old dowager determined to make everyone’s life miserable, particularly that of her companion, Grace Eversleigh, a girl whose parents were country nobility but on their death found nothing for herself but this position. He’s been engaged to Lady Amelia since they were babies. Thomas, duke of Wyndham, has been raised to power and privilege, knowing from birth what it was to be, essentially, Wyndham. As these books are essentially two halves of the same story, I thought it would make the most sense if I reviewed them together.
