About This Book

Two wayfarers meet on a forest road and their separate travels become intertwined through encounters at a tavern, a troubled household, and a nearby estate; comic and gothic episodes alternate—an eccentric chambermaid and a midnight tragedy, confessions and oaths, a prisoner held at the estate, and a sequence of nocturnal flights and investigations—while themes of chivalry, mistaken identity, romantic entanglement, and personal transformation drive the action toward revelations and a final reckoning.
