Summary

"Dulcie Carlyon: A Novel. Volume 3 (of 3)" by James Grant is a late 19th-century story set in two distinct worlds; one follows Florian MacIan in Zululand as he burns with vengeance for his murdered friend and wrestles with his growing love for Dulcie, while the other focuses on Dulcie Carlyon, trapped by her social status and the unwelcome attention of a relative, Shafto. Florian's tale is filled with violent pursuit in a vividly depicted landscape, fueled by grief over the assassination of his friend Vivian Hammersley, as he hunts the killers. Back in Scotland, Dulcie's life at Craigengowan is marked by mistreatment and a growing resolve to break free from Lady Fettercairn's oppressive household, as she faces isolation, familial pressure, and the looming threat of Shafto, leading her to contemplate drastic decisions about her future, driven by her feelings for Florian.
