The Shepherd's Lodge

Chloe is a radio presenter and singer, but despite the success of her burgeoning career she is discontented with life. Her only romantic attachment when she was younger led to betrayal and disillusion, causing her to leave her home on the island of Tritinos and build her future in Athens. Now she avoids men, gaining her the reputation of 'The Ice Maiden'. However, a series of traumatic events leads her to re-evaluate her solitary existence - and dramatically revise her low opinion of people who had once been close to her. Chloe realizes that she must try to rectify the wrongs caused by her misjudgement and return to Tritinos. But will she be believed? Can she convince those she rejected that she is now sincere? Chloe reaches home seeking forgiveness, but a potent reminder of the past appears - in highly tangible form; shocking her parents and long hidden truths are revealed. Recovering from their stunning news, Chloe knows she must go to the family's mitato, the shepherd's lodge on the upper slopes of the Red Hills. Will she discover the happiness that has been missing? And in echoes of the past, can the mitato demonstrate its magical powers yet again?
