THE SECRET OF WYVERN TOWERS.\* - \[\*Copyright, 1897, by T. W. Speight.\]
In a sun‑drenched May morning, Felix Drelincourt wanders into a secluded glade on his sprawling estate, his mind haunted by a promise made three years earlier—a kiss, initials carved into an oak, and a love he thought unbreakable. The quiet of the forest is broken only by the distant toll of a church bell, marking the passage of time that seems to slip away from him as he ponders a mysterious lapse in memory. When a familiar, gaunt figure named Roden Marsh arrives with a foreboding air, the atmosphere turns uneasy, hinting at hidden motives and secrets that have long lay dormant beneath the trees.
As the two brothers confront the strange tidings that have drawn them together, the serenity of Wyvern Towers gives way to a labyrinth of whispered accusations and uneasy alliances. Their investigation into an old grievance will uncover tangled legacies and a lingering threat that could endanger more than just their own fates, setting the stage for a mystery that grows ever tighter around the ancient estate.
