Beautiful, proud and cruel: thus is the widow Argyl. Yet, faced with Mark’s skilful courtship, she becomes a trembling little girl again. Even worse for the Ontario hero, because when the widow discovers that Mark is only interested in a book kept in her coffer - a book showing the hiding place of a load of weapons - her fury as a deceived woman is boundless... In the town of Bennington, under the iron rule of Governor Sir Wintrop, the days are marked by public executions. It is a great luck for Mark to have earned himself the confidence of Miss Ruth, the Governor’s betrothed. But will Mark really be lucky to have gotten into her good graces?
