However, she falls in love with Edgar Ravenswood, the last remaining member of a once-powerful family that has fallen on hard times. Despite their love for each other, Lucy and Edgar are torn apart by their families' long-standing feud. Sir William Ashton, who is determined to maintain his power and position, forbids Lucy from marrying Edgar and does everything in his power to keep them apart.
