Cornovaglia, 1788-1790. Le nozze tra Ross, gentiluomo dal carattere forte, avverso alle convenzioni sociali, e Demelza, bella, brillante, ma figlia di un povero minatore, hanno scandalizzato l'alta società locale. E così Demelza, pur facendo il possibile per assumere le maniere di una signora raffinata, fatica a conciliare il mondo da cui proviene con quello di cui ora fa parte. Questo non le impedisce però di stare al fianco di Ross, che si trova ad affrontare la grave crisi economica in cui versa il distretto: l'industria del rame è infatti sull'orlo del collasso a causa di banchieri senza scrupoli, come lo spietato George Warleggan. Mentre dalla Francia soffiano i venti della rivoluzione e il malcontento dei minatori, ridotti alla fame, sembra pronto a esplodere, Ross decide di sfidare i potenti nel tentativo di riportare giustizia nella terra che ama, nonostante il rischio di perdere tutto ciò che ha costruito. Tra sfarzosi eventi mondani, passioni maledette e amori ritrovati, Ross e Demelza tornano con il secondo episodio della saga di Poldark, un vero e proprio classico tra i romanzi storici.
