The Shadow of the Lynx follows beautiful young Nora Tamasin as she leaves her home in Victorian England. Recently orphaned, she sails toward the untamed lands of gold-rush Australia. Her journey will take her to the Lynx: the man her father designated as her guardian before he died.
Nora is fascinated by the ruthless Charles Herrick, but she discovered that he deserved his name “The Lynx”. His love for her was overwhelming and frightening. By the time she realized that his plan for her was part of his obsessive desire for revenge, it seemed too late to escape. Rich, powerful, and commanding the Lynx is a man who can safeguard her finances, but cannot control her heart.
Victoria Holt, along with her contemporary Norah Lofts, wrote Gothic Romance a wildly popular style use by Wilkie Collins, Mrs. Radcliff and earlier writers. Remember Jane Austin’s Catherine imagining mysterious doings in Northanger Abbey after reading a gothic romance? The less dramatic Romantic Suspense has replaced this style.
