"How hold ye Lorne?" Rupert's softly spoken question brought the well-remembered answer to Val's lips: "By the oak leaf, by the sea wave, by the broadsword blade, thus hold we Lorne!"

Description

A restless trio of siblings, the Ralestones, set out from their crumbling aristocratic past in search of a fresh start in the deep South. Their banter is sharp and full of self‑deprecating humor, as they trade titles like “Lord,” “Lady,” and “Marquess” while trying to keep a battered roadster running on a shoestring budget. The journey takes them to a ramshackle barn on the edge of a Louisiana bayou, where the promise of new fortunes hangs as loosely as the weather‑worn signs on the roadside.

Amid the swamp’s whispering reeds, the family clings to an old family legend—the Luck of Lorne—summoned by a cryptic chant about oak leaves, sea waves, and a rusted broadsword. This lingering myth fuels their daring plans, from imagined piracy to daring schemes against looming creditors. As they settle into their new, quirky home, the Ralestones discover that the South’s mysteries may be just as intoxicating as the treasure they hope to claim.
