Príbeh o láske a osude od bestsellerovej autorky historických ság Margaret Dickinson. V Lincolnshire Wolds je rok 1910. Mladá Rosie Waterhousová žije so svojím otcom Samom, ktorý je dobre známy ako miestny pytliak, v chalupe na panstve Thornsby. To patrí drsnému a nemilosrdnému mužovi, ktorý je odhodlaný zariadiť, aby sa jeho jediný syn Byron dobre oženil a priniesol mu dediča. Rosie sa rýchlo naučí triky remesla svojho otca a keď načierno chytá ryby v potoku na panstve, zoznámi sa s Byronom. Počas najbližších mesiacov sa ďalej v tajnosti stretávajú a, ako sa ich priateľstvo prehlbuje, prídu na to, že napriek ich veľmi rozdielnym pôvodom je ich osudom, aby boli spolu. Keď sa o ich pute dozvie Byronov otec, spraví všetko preto, aby sa uistil, že sa už nikdy nestretnú. Ako roky plynú, hrozba vojny sa stane realitou. Sam sa zapletie do tragickej nehody, ktorá ovplyvní jeho aj Rosin život viac, než by si ktokoľvek z nich dokázal predstaviť. Život v Thornsby už nikdy nebude ako predtým... Podarí sa Rosie nájsť šťastie, po ktorom tak túži?
