About This Book

On All-Hallow-E'en a rural family keeps old divination customs while a young woman performs apple-peel fortune-telling and sings of a distant beloved; an isolated nobleman, reading romantic tales, is visited by vivid, irresistible visions of that same maiden. An old, hooded crone watches from without and utters a menacing prophecy that links the household and the lord. The narrative shifts between hearthside ritual and turreted solitude, blending folkloric ceremony, supernatural portents, and yearning to explore how omen and desire conspire to determine what will occur before dawn.
