Plot
[edit]The House of the Lost Court follows the story of siblings Giles and Clare Randolph, who face the unsettling reality of leaving their family’s historic estate, a once-grand mansion known as the "House of the Lost Court." The Randolph family has a long history tied to this estate, which symbolizes their lineage, social standing, and once-prosperous legacy. However, after the family's financial ruin, a distant heir inherits the property, leaving Giles and Clare to navigate a world beyond their sheltered upbringing.
As they adjust to life outside their former home, Giles is determined to restore the Randolph family's name and reclaim what has been lost. Meanwhile, Clare must confront her conflicting feelings: loyalty to her family’s traditions versus her desire for independence. Together, the siblings find themselves drawn into a mix of family obligations, social challenges, and personal ambitions that threaten to divide them. Their journey sheds light on themes of loyalty, resilience, and the weight of heritage in the face of inevitable change.[3]
