Red Spider, Volume 2 (of 2)

"Red Spider, Volume 2" by S. Baring-Gould is a 19th-century novel about Hillary Nanspian, whose life in a rural town becomes entwined with duty, affection, and community ties. Hillary's charge to safeguard the sheep after some mysterious killings lights not only his protective side but also his deeper emotions for Honor Luxmore. We see the emotional story of Hillary and Honor take flight, but it is carefully balanced by Honor's strong sense of commitment to her family. We watch as sibling relationships add levels of depth to the characters, especially the interplay with Kate, which stirs a friendly rivalry between the sisters and tests Hillary's feelings as events begin to tie their lives together, foreshadowing drama and tension in their personal relationships.
