Opis

Who killed Alfred de Maine, Lord Farnton? Highwaymen on the backroads of Ireland, as his pretty widow Eleanor claims? One of the traveling folk camped near the tiny village of Glenscar, where Eleanor fled in fear that day? A resident of Glenscar itself, trying to protect the village's hidden power? Or did John Marlowe, the horse-breeder son of Glenscar's squire, kill the lord to win the lady? Eleanor knows the truth, but she also knows the value of a secret. Her own greatest desire, to marry John as soon as her six months of mourning are over, will be obtainable only so long as it remains unknown. Along the way, she must master her magic of moving, untangle her new friends' romantic complications, and use heart and head in tandem to decide which stories to believe. Will love and patience win the day, and Eleanor join hands with John at last? Or will she remain, forever, a Widow in Waiting? Welcome to a world where magic lives in the quiet moments of the everyday, and where rich and poor, settled and wanderers, might have more in common than they dream. Welcome to the Chronicles of Glenscar.
