Viking & Norse

Scotland, 1746. After Culloden, a wounded Jacobite captain collapses at the garden gate of an English surgeon’s daughter. Eleanor risks everything to hide him in the cellar, and over four weeks of whispered conversation in candlelight, two people on opposite sides of a war discover that the space between enemies can become the only place that feels like home.

Edo Japan, 1680. A disgraced samurai tends a contemplative garden in a mountain village. When a travelling poet arrives in a rainstorm, their shared silence becomes the foundation for something neither expected: a love built not on passion or drama, but on the quiet, patient art of growing something beautiful together.
