The story is set in the late 17th century and follows the life of a young French girl named Yvonne de Lamourie, who is the daughter of a Chevalier (a French knight). Yvonne's father is killed during a battle, and she is forced to flee from France to England with her mother and younger brother.In England, Yvonne and her family are taken in by the Stanton Corbet family, who are wealthy landowners. Yvonne is grateful for their kindness and begins to adapt to her new life in England. However, she faces many challenges as a foreigner in a new country, and she must also navigate the complex relationships between the different members of the Stanton Corbet family.As Yvonne grows up, she falls in love with one of the Stanton Corbet sons, but their love is complicated by their different social statuses and the disapproval of some members of the family. Yvonne also discovers secrets about her own family's past that threaten to tear her apart from those she loves.The Chevalier's Daughter is a tale of love, loss, and the struggle to find one's place in a world that is constantly changing.
