About This Book

A young kinsman and his spirited cousin endure family conflict over faith and set out from a rural gate house in search of better prospects, a hidden inheritance, and wider experience. Their quest leads between country and London, encountering gypsies, a hunted priest, local superstition, and scenes of May Day and Yuletide that alternate domestic life with perilous adventure. The plot weaves a central mystery of a lost treasure with tests of courage, loyalty, and sacrifice, while several supporting figures—including a devoted follower—play key roles in rescuing the place called Trevlyn and resolving the community's dangers.
