Set against the sweeping beauty of the River Wye, this tale follows Gwen Wynn, the spirited daughter of a local landowner, as she becomes entangled in a sudden, chilling death that the villagers quickly label an accident. The river’s glittering currents and the ancient hills that line its banks provide a vivid backdrop for a story where folklore, history, and a hint of the supernatural mingle with everyday life. As Gwen and the determined local doctor begin to question the obvious, they uncover uneasy rumors of a hidden danger lurking among familiar faces.
The narrative balances quiet country moments—tea in a sun‑dappled kitchen, evening walks along the river’s edge—with the mounting tension of a mystery that refuses to stay buried. Through clever dialogue and a cast of colourful characters, the early chapters lay the groundwork for a romance that is as much about trust and courage as it is about love. Listeners will find themselves drawn into the winding paths of the Wye, eager to discover what secrets the water will reveal next.
