Description
The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne is a novel written by Ann Radcliffe. The story is set in Scotland during the medieval period and revolves around two neighboring castles, Athlin and Dunbayne. The Laird of Athlin, Earl Osbert, is betrayed by his cousin, Baron Malcolm, who covets his lands and castle. Earl Osbert is killed and his wife, Lady Emma, is taken captive by Baron Malcolm. Lady Emma's brother, Sir William, seeks revenge for his sister's capture and sets out to attack Dunbayne with a small army. The story is full of intrigue, betrayal, and romance as the characters navigate the treacherous political landscape of medieval Scotland. The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne is a classic Gothic novel that explores themes of power, love, and revenge.Anxious to inform the Baroness of his approaching deliverance, to assure her of his best services, to bid adieu to Laura, and to seize the last opportunity he might ever possess of disclosing to her his admiration and his love, the Earl revisited the apartments of the Baroness. She felt a lively pleasure on the prospect of his escape; and Laura, in the joy which animated her on hearing this intelligence, forgot the sorrows of her own situation; forgot that of which her heart soon reminded her--that Osbert was leaving the place of her confinement, and that she should probably see him no more.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
