This early novel centers on the Atheling family, especially on the three young people Agnes, Marion, and Charlie. Each has a special gift: Agnes has a genius as a writer, Marion has beauty, and Charlie will find his gift in the course of the story. The novel is told mostly from Agnes' point of view.
