About This Book

A young noblewoman is raised in a gloomy ancestral castle by a protective, stern father who shields her after a seer predicts sorrow; adored for her beauty and gentle nature, she grows up sheltered, tended by a devoted retainer who vows to keep her safe. The narrative contrasts festive household life and seasonal pleasures with a foreboding forest and ominous prophecies, following how domestic tenderness and vigilant guardianship confront an inevitable, mournful reckoning centered on an old oak chest as events move toward loss.
