Editorial Review

Heralded as the "Queen of Romantic Suspense," Victoria Holt was a true mistress of the genre, giving us such timeless classics as Bride of Pendorric and Mistress of Mellyn. Lord of the Far Island is one of her best. The tale of a young orphan named Ellen, it follows her adventures after a betrothal to a man she admires—but does not love—ends in her suitor's mysterious death. Then she finds herself wooed by Jago Kellaway, an enigmatic lord claiming to be her long-lost guardian. The man makes her heart race like never before, but Ellen can't help but think that she's fallen into a web of deceit and hidden motives. When he offers her the fabled Necklace of the Kellaway Castle, is it really a token of his love…or a dark symbol of death?
