"Too many there be to whom a dead Enemy smells well, and who find Musk and Amber in Revenge."--Christian Morals, by Sir Thomas Browne
Julian, youthful heir to a great name, a great fortune and a house in 18th century England, is cheated of his birthright by a jealous half-sister and her cousin-paramour. But Julian survives, accepts the identity foisted upon him, as child of Italian fisherfolk, and while taking advantage of the opportunity for a musical career which a glorious voice affords him secretly dedicates his life to a pattern of revenge.
