by C. J. (Charles James) Wills
In the lush, time‑worn estate of King’s Warren, the lives of two young cousins intertwine amid the genteel rhythms of late‑Victorian country life. Georgina Warrender, a thoughtful and open‑hearted lady, spends her afternoons in the rose garden, balancing the weight of expectations against her own ideals, while her cousin Lucy, the orphaned daughter of a distant colonial officer, returns home under the watchful eye of their stern yet caring Squire.
Both girls share a heritage steeped in tradition, yet the quiet world of their ancestral lands conceals secrets that begin to surface when Georgina’s curiosity turns toward a puzzling family heirloom. As whispers of past grievances and hidden motives drift through the garden’s hedges, listeners are invited to step into a story where loyalty, love, and lingering mysteries beckon from the very soil of the Warrender legacy.
