   Summary

   Cast out for his sin of being born wrong, Barnaby has lived in solitude as a herbalist and hermit. His dog, a few chickens, and the occasional visitor are all the company he needs – at least that's what he always tells himself. But one day, a handsome young knight from Trosky appears on his doorstep. And this jovial Sir Bartosch seems determined to crack open the walls around Barnaby's heart.
