Charming story of Sandy, a young man raised on a country estate isolated from the world. He and his parents are subject to a plot by relatives to steal their wealth. I enjoyed this story very much.

Arly lives in a mined-out little town that some rich guy wants to buy. And who is that dark stranger, really? Sounds like one of those penny-dreadfuls she is so found of reading.
Princess is beset by unwanted suitors her rather evil mother is foisting on her. Poor boy from across the river is besotted with her, though. Guess what happens?
