"An epic adventure revolving around Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo in 1815. When Rose Poldark undertakes a government assignment to access the strength of Bonapartist sentiment in Bourbon, France, he and his wife, Demelza, are swept into a giddy Parisian social whirl, belying the ominous threat of war. Meanwhile, young Jeremy Poldark, a lieutenant in the British army, and his bride enjoy a carefree honeymoon in Brussels. As fate and fortune conspire to reunite the Poldarks on the bloodiest of battlefields, life among their familiar band of friends and relatives in Cornwall continues to amuse and intrigue."--Provided by the publisher.
