The audience wants to listen to these kind of stories in a strong voice that can induce energy and enthusiasm in their mind.

Thus this was not a troublesome task for a legend like Derek Perkins. Author Margaret Mallory begins the series from this part and all the details are present about the primary characters. David Hume in this novel appears to be all geared up at the start of the novel for revenge.
His father was killed in a treacherous way and he vowed that he will take revenge at any cost. However an even bigger tragedy strikes when the enemy dies before David could take his revenge. So David is left with no other option except to take revenge from his enemy’s widow. When he goes to the castle of his enemy he finds the widow quite fascinating.
