Set during the English Civil War, it follows four orphaned Beverley children who escape Parliamentary soldiers and take refuge in the New Forest. Disguised as a forester's grandchildren, they must abandon their aristocratic upbringing and learn to survive off the land. As they mature into self-reliant foresters, the eldest son Edward becomes entangled with both Royalist
causes and a forbidden romance, leading toward an uncertain future. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
