About This Book

Two young cousins are raised at an ancient family estate ringed by forest and local tales of a green-clad lady. Household history reveals the Lovel family’s gradual decline and the imminent arrival of a distant heir, which awakens secrets and tensions. Forest adventures—being lost, clandestine meetings, and the search for a missing tankard—interweave with moral trials about duty, affection, and inheritance. Romantic complications, competing maternal claims, and uncovered secrets culminate in decisions about rightful succession and the character expected of an heir.
