Corbet Lynn arrives to restore his family's crumbling estate, stirring memories of his grandfather's dying curse. Nial Lynn was murdered by his own son, and his final words promised sorrow and trouble for generations. In the nearby woods, Rois Melior gathers healing herbs, running wild and barefoot while her sister Laurel prepares for domestic life. Rois feels unsuited for marriage, drawn instead to freedom and the forest. When she meets Corbet, she sees desperate longing in his pale green eyes. He calls to her in dreams mixed with harvest wine's warmth. As autumn fades to winter, Rois becomes consumed with Corbet Lynn and obsessed with uncovering his hidden past. She flees across the frozen landscape, pursued by her own imagination, until she can no longer separate truth from dreams.
