This historical novel, a sequel to "The History of Henry Esmond, Esq," follows the twin grandsons of Henry Esmond, George and Henry Warrington. Henry's entanglement with an older woman leads him to join the British army and participate in the capture of Quebec under General Wolfe. Later, he sides with the revolutionaries during the American War of Independence. This choice compels his brother, George, a British officer, to resign his commission rather than fight against Henry.
