At the start of the novel, we meet the Edmonstone family at their house, Hollywell, during a winter setting. Philip Morville has just returned from an errand, and there is palpable curiosity surrounding a letter that relates to Guy, the newly orphaned heir of Redclyffe. Through an engaging dialogue among family members about Guy's tragic loss and his impending arrival, we learn of a family feud tied to the Morville lineage. As the characters discuss their hopes and concerns regarding Guy, the reader is drawn into the dynamics of their interactions, hinting at the potential conflicts and relationships to come as Guy settles into life at Hollywell.
