Donal Grant
Donal Grant leaves behind his humble origins to accept a position as tutor in a sprawling Scottish castle, where he finds himself guardian to a young boy and keeper of a household shrouded in mystery. The ancient fortress holds more than stone walls: an eccentric old man prowls its corridors, a beautiful young woman bears a weight of sorrow that no one dares name, and somewhere within its depths lies a secret room from an old family legend. Donal must navigate this enigmatic world while guarding the boy's innocent heart against the house's buried truths. George MacDonald, the Victorian fantasist who inspired C.S. Lewis and Tolkien, weaves a tale that operates on multiple levels: a satisfying mystery, a meditation on innocence and corruption, and a quiet argument for the transformative power of goodness. The castle becomes a character itself, its hidden passages and shadowed halls concealing both danger and grace. Those whoavor MacDonald's particular blend of realism and fairy-tale wonder will find here a masterwork of atmosphere and moral imagination.
