Since he's been away fighting in the French wars, things in Cornwall have changed rather dramatically for Ross Poldark. George and Elizabeth Warleggan (with their new child Valentine) have taken over the stewardship of the Penrice estate, and Aunt Agatha Poldark is now a guest in her own house. Demelza's brothers, Sam and Drake, have come looking for work, and to spread their Methodist mission, much to the consternation of the local vicar and his flock. And Ross's best friend Dwight is lost, somewhere on the French coast, his ship having been wrecked thereabouts. However, now he's back in Cornwall, matters of a higher nature require Ross Poldark's attention, when he's asked to stand as a candidate for Member of Parliament by Sir Francis Bennet Declining, Ross makes a grave mistake - leaving the door to the Commons open for his arch enemy, George Warleggan.
