NOW A MAJOR ITV SUNDAY NIGHT DRAMAThe brand new story from Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes, set in 1840s London

Román je skvělým, barvitým popisem anglické společnosti, a to jak horních, tak dolních vrstev. Má vše, co mělo Panství Downtown: dokonalou atmosféru, drama a nezapomenutelné postavy. Je předvečer bitvy u Waterloo, 15. června 1815. Vévodkyně z Richmondu pořádá v Bruselu velkolepý ples. Mezi urozenými hosty se nachází i James a Anne Trenchardovi, kteří získali obrovský majetek obchodováním. Mají krásnou dceru Sophii, která okouzlí Edmunda Bellasise. Jenže druhý den dojde k velké bitvě, a mnoho přítomných mladých mužů ocitne na bojišti. A i pro Sophii se vše změní. Londýn, o dvacet pět let později, tj. 40. léta 19. století. Obě rodiny se usadily v nových sídlech v módní čtvrti Belgravia, nikdo ze zúčastněných na onen ples nedokázal zapomenout. A právě tady žijí lidé, kteří by byli rádi, kdyby jejich temná tajemství minulosti zůstala nadále skryta.
