In ancient times, a young Evergreen queen was faced with the impending Battle at Black Woods. Someone snatches the onyx-and-gold-rose honor about to be bestowed unto her. The Key Kell is missing. Some subjects suffer from a cold spell, and her uncle is injured. Her knight—the love of her life—disappears in a harsh storm just after a friendly neighbor is hurt in a hollow in the Daisy Meadow mist. Can the livestock be saved? Will the flowers arrive at the Kitty Lane Perfumery or will they be blown across the meadows? Will Rachael’s love safely return? Will she survive after being stricken? With charm, wise decisions, and a loyal following of the subjects of the Evergreen kingdom, Queen Rachael Adele will face these challenges without losing hope. She is a courageous ruler whose choices and tidings bring about changes to save her country and people, bringing happiness for everyone. In modern times, the queen’s descendants, the Rachael cousins, play important roles within their community where their royal ancestor once ruled and among their friends when some are injured in an accident or are in need of places to practice their singing and acting skills to further their careers and livelihood. The Rachaels and the mayor also wish to further address environmental issues within their community and celebrate others to make their village greener and more livable, and they reward friends for doing so with an ancient traditional surprise mentioned in the queen’s journal. A landslide causes peril, yet the discovery of ancient writings on family property thrills all in surprising ways. Can they once again host the Summer Solstice Cotillion fundraiser for the hungry while trying to solve the Key Kell mystery at Dragonfly Pond?
