The Sorceress (complete)

The Kingsward household buzzes with the energy of youth, its members all in the prime of life. Mother Mrs. Kingsward, though a gentle invalid, still leads her family on trips and adventures, while her children—Charlie, Bee, and the younger sisters—share laughter, dances, and the occasional mischief. Their father, a disciplined officer of the Horse Guards, provides a steady backdrop to their spirited days.

Everything changes when a towering captain of the Dragoons arrives, his silver‑trimmed uniform and flamboyant moustache turning heads at every garden party. His sudden proposal to the eldest daughter sparks a whirlwind of excitement, drawing the entire family into a swirl of anticipation and whispered speculation. Yet beneath the celebratory veneer, an undercurrent of mystery hints that forces beyond ordinary romance may soon stir the household.
