| Summary |
"Under a Charm: A Novel. Vol. III" by E. Werner is a fictional work written in the late 19th century. The novel unfolds amidst a complex political backdrop involving insurrection, familial duty, and deep emotional connections, particularly focusing on the characters Waldemar Nordeck and Countess Morynska, as they navigate love and loyalty amid tensions over their opposing nationalities. The opening of the novel centers on a border-station, where Waldemar confronts insubordination from his forester Osiecki, revealing underlying tensions that could escalate toward violence. The young Countess Morynska is drawn into this turmoil, attempting to maintain order while managing her feelings for Waldemar against the backdrop of her betrothal to another man. As conflict brews, a violent altercation erupts, leading to the death of Osiecki and igniting a fierce confrontation between Waldemar and his brother Leo, who becomes embroiled in the political strife overshadowing their relationship. This tension sets the stage for significant developments as alliances and loyalties are tested amidst the chaos of rebellion and personal aspirations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
