description: Davy Bourdon was a man consumed by a dream -- to save his ancestral estate and its people from the oppression sweeping over 19th-century Scotland. To do this Davy needed aid -- aid that came from the women who found his power and passion the answer to their own dreams.
  
  --Mary, who took Davy into her bed and taught him how strong -- and weak -- he was as a man.
  
  --Elizabeth, who made Davy the plaything of her aristocratic pleasures in return for the high wages of sin.
  
  --Fionna, who belonged to a man Davy had to destroy, and who yielded to a hunger that could easily destroy her.
  
  --Sarah, who broke her marriage vows and violated every taboo to lead Davy down the most dangerous path of all.
