Now, Phoebe’s brother is about to marry Pandora Ravenel and when Phoebe, her kids, parents and siblings travel to Eversby Priory for the wedding, Phoebe and West meet at last. She was pregnant with their second child when he passed away due to his wasting disease (in typical romance fashion, this remains a mysterious, unnamed illness). Their childhood romance led Phoebe to propose to him and despite his misgivings about his health and how Phoebe deserved better, Henry agreed to marry her. Henry wrote to Phoebe about the misery West inflicted on him, and how West even stole a book Phoebe sent Henry–a book they both cared about very much.Įventually, Henry’s parents pulled him out of school and he came to live near Phoebe. When he was a boy, Henry was sent to boarding school where he was bullied by another boy, West Ravenel. Phoebe’s late husband, Henry, was her childhood best friend, and frail.


Phoebe is widowed and the mother of two young boys. Devil’s Daughter begins with Phoebe, Lady Clare (daughter of Sebastian and Evie from Devil in Winter) on her way to her brother Gabriel’s wedding.
