The opening story, "Stephen of Steens," introduces a historical tale set in the rugged landscape of Cornwall and revolves around the character Roger Stephen, a pewterer burdened by his complicated family relations and dark legacy. As he grapples with themes of injustice and the struggle for identity, the narrative promises a blend of action and moral dilemmas. At the start of the tale, readers are introduced to the foreboding house named Steens, which holds a mysterious and violent past.
