Their parents' deaths thrusts them into a world of peril, where they find refuge with Jacob Armitage, a protective forester. He guides them in the ways of the New Forest, shielding them from Parliamentarian soldiers hunting King Charles I. As Jacob watches the search for the king, the young Beverleys -- Edward, Humphrey, Alice, and Edith -- adapt to a life in hiding that is shaped by a blend of childhood innocence and the harsh fight for survival.
