Description
Carinthia drifts through a windswept Welsh summer, the sea’s salt‑laden scent still clinging to her memory of a father who taught her to taste the ocean in bracken and storm. Recently shipwrecked yet unbroken, she now walks the rugged hills with a newborn son, trying to shield the child from the chill that has settled between her and a husband who seems to resent both her and the baby he birthed. Their home, a modest farm edged by forest and the distant clamor of Welsh cavalry, becomes a quiet battlefield where love, duty, and suspicion clash beneath ever‑changing skies.
As Carinthia negotiates daily chores, visits from neighbors like the kindly Mrs. Wythan, and the looming demand for weaning, she feels the weight of an inherited expectation to forge a strong lineage. Yet the fear that her husband might use the child’s growing independence as an excuse to sever their bond fuels a desperate hope for peace, support, and a future where she can protect the only treasure she truly possesses.
