Valenteen Foxe has never left his hometown of Applemoss, a place where farmers tended to their crops and travelers were as rare as an eventful day. Some called their lives boring but the Foxes cared not. They wanted nothing more then their quiet lives. Rapheal, Valenteen's older brother, planned to ask for a hand in marriage. His proposal to the beautiful Linnet Bailey would have introduced a new member to their family. Their lives were settled, cozy and safe but all of that changed with a rushed note and a pair of red eyes.
