Your destiny is a man of silver and gold…
By a woodland fairy, her future is foretold.
While World War I rages in Europe, Vanessa Perkins, a vivacious nanny with a whimsical imagination, enjoys summering with her wealthy Boston employers at a glamorous lakeside resort. There she meets Avery, a gentle botanist, and Ned, a dashing aristocrat.
Raised in a brutal orphanage, Vanessa dreams of being part of a close family like Avery’s, but Ned’s charm and privileged world are intoxicating. While confronting an agonizing decision, she discovers an enchanted grove in the forest, where enigmatic water nymphs and a fairy’s prophecy inspire her to be bold.
But there’s a price for breaking society’s rules.
And when the Spanish Flu starts killing people she cares about, Vanessa’s choices will either bring her closer to the love and family she craves or drag her into more danger than she ever imagined.
