Tea and Empathy

Welcome to Rydding, the hidden village you might stumble across if you need a home and a fresh start.

For Elwyn Howell, the village is a lifesaver when she finds it just as shes run out of strength and hope while running for her life. The abandoned healers cottage welcomes her, even though shes given up on that calling. She opens a tea shop instead, using her knowledge of herbs and her empathic gift that allows her to select the perfect tea for each customer. Soon, shes feeling at home in the village community.

Shes afraid its too good to last, a fear thats confirmed when she finds a wounded man unconscious in her garden. Was he sent by the people who are hunting her? Not even he knows, since he has no memory of who he is or how he got there. As she nurses him back to health, they develop a close bond, but the specter of both their pasts—the one shes fleeing and the one he doesnt remember—gets in the way. He doesnt know what life he may have left behind, and she lives in constant fear that her old life will catch up with her and shell end up convicted of a murder shes not entirely sure she didnt commit.

They cant hide forever, not even in Rydding, and if they want to have a future, theyll have to confront their pasts.
