Born last of three brothers, Daniel never expected–or wanted–to inherit the family title. He identified himself as a musician first, as the son of a peer at a distant second. Tragedy, however, has a way of adjusting all sorts of perspectives, and Daniel has recently become the fourth Viscount Briarewe, with a manor estate and a London townhouse and a pair of siblings more inclined to view him as an entertaining uncle than an appropriate guardian. As if matters weren’t grave enough, he’s also gradually and inevitably losing his eyesight, and everything hinges on his ability to keep that fact a secret for as long as possible.
