In 1900, Violette Beaumont leaves London with her sisters to settle in an old family residence on the edge of New Forest.
She expected to find memories, dust-filled rooms, and the last echoes of a grandmother long gone.
But among the woods, forgotten letters, and an ancient stone bridge connecting two enemy estates, Violette gradually uncovers a story that time never truly buried.
Arden De Gé, heir to a family as noble as it is unsettling, should have stayed away from her.
He is dark, arrogant, impossible to grasp.
And yet, with every encounter, they are drawn closer to the secret haunting both their bloodlines.
In the forest, some promises survive for generations.
Some loves refuse to die.
And some monsters ask only to be loved for what they are.
