Lady Eleanor Margaret Hawthorne is six years old.
Born into one of England's noble families, Eleanor has spent her childhood surrounded by towering halls, sprawling gardens, elegant dinners, servants, lessons, and the expectations that come with being a member of the aristocracy.
But the world beyond Hawthorne House is far larger than she realizes.
There are families with names as old as her own, servants whose lives are entirely different from hers, villagers beyond the estate gates, traditions she doesn't understand, and rules that seem to govern everything from how she speaks to what she wears.
As Eleanor grows older, she will encounter friendship, family, society, privilege, responsibility, and the complicated world that comes with being born a Hawthorne.
For now, however, she has lessons to endure, questions to ask, and an oak tree she is absolutely not supposed to climb.
This is the story of Eleanor Margaret Hawthorne, and the world she grows up in.
