Description

The opening night at the crumbling manor of Chad is bathed in moonlight, its turrets casting stark silhouettes against pine‑filled darkness. Sir Oliver Chadgrove, a loyal servant of Henry VII, has just secured his family’s claim after the turmoil of the Wars of the Roses, yet the peace feels fragile. A neighboring lord, the ambitious owner of Mortimer’s Keep, watches with covetous eyes, hinting at a rivalry that could disturb the quiet. Meanwhile, the three young Chadgrove boys are left alone in the great house, unaware of the stranger who is about to slip through the shadows.

The mysterious visitor arrives just as the household sleeps, turning a night of calm into a tense game of hidden motives. Beneath the quiet courtyards and ruined quadrangles, secret chambers and whispered warnings stir, urging the brothers to search for safety. As they navigate dim corridors and looming threats, the story blends historical intrigue with a fledgling sense of adventure. Listeners will be drawn into a world where loyalty, danger, and the echoes of a contentious past begin to collide.
