Annabel Barlow isn't interested in handsome princes or fairytale weddings-all she wants is to curl up with a good book.
When unexpected events turn her world upside down, she enlists the help of new friends- a clever one-eyed woodcarver, a confident laundress, a sullen baron's son, and a cheeky maid. A romance blossoms, and amidst the unfolding adventure, the group uncovers dark secrets lurking in the castle's past.
But as the pages turn and the die is cast, she must decide if unraveling the mystery is worth the risk.
