About this listen

 In the shadow of Glencore Castle, Viscount Glencore grapples with heartbreak and betrayal. After his wife leaves him, declaring her lack of love, he retreats to a life with only his young son. Consumed by a desire for revenge, he plans to denounce their marriage, branding his son as illegitimate and stripping him of his birthright. When the boy learns of his fathers intentions, he flees, rejecting the home that has become a battleground of emotions. Glencore turns to his old friend Upton, asking him to take on the role of guardian, despite Uptons initial reluctance. Together, the boy and his loyal companion Billy seek solace abroad, hoping for a normal life away from their troubled past, but fate has other plans.
