Lord Byron's Novel: The Evening Land

And what a novel it is-a thrilling romance chock-full of treacheries and deceits, love and fortunes gloriously gained and tragically lost; a tale of blood, vengeance, and mystery, of thrilling escapes and ruthless murder. Yet in the story of Ali-the bastard son of the demonic Lord Sane, torn from his life in high Albania to be raised a proper, if penniless, English gentleman-Ada finds gripping revelations of its author's hidden character, and glimpses into the secrets of his soul.
