Marian and her children watched the great castle rise from the green hill, its red walls catching the last light of day. They had crossed half the world to reach this quiet corner of Cornwall, yet the distance vanished the moment the tower appeared. The children ran ahead toward the gate, laughing at the size of the stones and the shadow stretching across the grass. Marian followed more slowly, carrying her bag and her wonder, certain they had found the place she had dreamed about since childhood.
