MY LORD OF WRYBOURNE by Jeffery Farnol

Part of the Jasper Shrig, Bow Street Runner, series

My Lord of Wrybourne (sequel to Heritage Perilous):  The great house of Wrybourne Feveril, and all within it, were at peace. The Earl of Wrybourne had retired from his seafaring life, and was happy to have his charming wife and young heir about him, content to devote his time and energies to the upkeep and care of his lands and tenants. But dark days lay ahead for the earl.  Sir Robert Chalmers, having lost his right hand in a duel with the earl, was sworn to vengeance. He plotted to destroy the peace of Wrybourne, to sow jealousy between the earl and his wife, and to kidnap the boy heir. One by one, in this evil design, the earl loses his dearest friends: his cousin, Lord Scrope, vows to kill him; twice his murder is attempted; in pride, the earl dismisses his closest companion, and finally his child is kidnapped, and his wife, though devoted, flies from him.
