The story revolves around the turbulent relationship between Launcelot "Lance" Trevanion and his father, Sir Mervyn Trevanion, set against the backdrop of Victorian England and the subsequent Australian gold rush. The novel explores themes of family pride, rebellion, and the quest for independence, particularly through the character of Lance, who wrestles with his impulsive nature and the weight of family expectations. The opening of "Nevermore" introduces a dramatic confrontation between Lance and his father, highlighting the young man's defiance against parental authority in the face of family tradition and gambling debts. Lance's rebellious spirit is matched by his father's disdain for such behavior, leading to a pivotal moment where Lance decides to leave England for Australia in search of freedom and fortune. In these early pages, readers are introduced to the tension in their relationship and the implications of Lance’s choices, as well as glimpses of other key characters, such as Estelle, Lance’s cousin and love interest, who is troubled by his decision but resolute in her support. The stage is set for Lance's adventures down under as he attempts to carve out a new life amidst the vast possibilities of the goldfields.
