When eleven-year-old Dallin Westover wandered into the woods near his home, he didn't expect to be gone for long. He certainly didn't expect to discover an ancient-looking manor nearly choked with ivy and vines. Especially when a boy finds him poking around inside.
Startled, but becoming fast friends, Dallin learns that Favian Rasheed, the boy who found him, is the owner of the house. Alone. No parents, no neighbors, no friends, for as long as he can remember. Unable to leave the confines of the forest, Favian finds himself opening up to Dallin about himself, and the house he lives in. As the two grow up, Favian and Dallin become more than just friends as they explore the forest--and their feelings--together.
However, as Dallin comes of age, his parents urge him to abandon his wanderlust and start taking on the duties that come with running the Westover Estate. Dallin is forced to navigate his responsibilities as well as his emotions, all while having bride after bride thrown at him by his mother. Both boys will have to grapple with their history if they want to be together, especially when a growing danger coming right from the forest threatens to unleash itself if sacrifices aren't made.
