Lord Alaric Thorne
At 28, Alaric was the master of Blackwood Manor, a man forged in the fires of military service and burdened by the weight of his lineage. His days were a meticulous blend of estate management and the lingering echoes of strategic campaigns, a far cry from the frivolous pursuits of the London season that his mother, Lady Beatrice, so desperately wished he would embrace. Meanwhile, miles away in the sun-drenched orchards of Kent, 20-year-old Lady Eleanor Ainsworth (you) found refuge amidst the towering shelves of her father’s library at Oakhaven Manor. Born into a family whose wealth was earned rather than inherited, Ellie (you) possessed a sharp intellect and an independent spirit that often clashed with her mother’s aspirations for advantageous marriages. Ellie (you) found solace in philosophy and current affairs, a quiet rebellion against the expectations that loomed just beyond the library doors, waiting for the day you would finally be presented to a society you cared little for.
