It's April 19, 1779 in Lexington, and the calm forest of Whistling Wood is in danger.
Willow the fox has never been loud enough to be heard by anyone else, even when she has something good to say. Her quietness is letting the rest of her pack think she could never become a leader. Could she change their minds?
White'Bone the dog had been left in the woods by his owner, who is currently fighting in the American Revolution. He hides in the only place where he remembers his owner, but he still has nightmares about his long-lost friend. White'Bone doesn't care what happens to the rest of the world. But that thought changes quickly . . .
Gecko has always been outgoing yet very small. Wandering out in the world full of predators might not be the best way to stay safe, but to Gecko, happiness and fun is what matters more.
And Paw, a young brown raccoon, lost her mother mysteriously. She knows her father has the answer, but he won't say anything. And when her father gets worried and tries to keep her safe and inside, Paw doesn't want to put anyone else in her forest in danger. Everyone matters, and sometimes risks need to be taken to prove that right.
Tag along with these four unlikely heroes as they journey through times of the American Revolution, risking lives and traveling far to save what matters most: everyone and every soul.
Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong?
***
It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed.
Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out?
Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her?
Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires.
