Bangor, 1824. Jenny Hager, gracias a su arrolladora belleza, es capaz de manipular a los hombres a su antojo y conseguir de ellos todo lo que se propone. Tras casarse con un acaudalado comerciante, Jenny no tardará en seducir al hijo de éste con el fin de inducirle al asesinato de su padre, mientras por otro lado se encapricha del prometido de su mejor amiga.

- Epigraph
- For the lips of a strange woman drop honey,
And her mouth is smoother than oil:
But her latter end is bitter as wormwood,
Sharp as a two-edged sword. - First words
- During her lifetime only seven men-and no women-really knew Jenny Hager for what she was; and Lieutenant Vincent Carruthers of His Majesty's frigate Endymion was the first of the seven.
- Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)He waited for her assent, and after a moment she nodded, laughing in a breathless way; and she said softly: 'Yes. But it's been so long. Oh hurry, hurry, Dan.'
