The opening story revolves around the theme of love and loss, beginning with the historical tale of Guy Wharton and Gertrude Wylde, set in the late 16th century. It explores the depth of human emotions through the life of Guy, who embarks on a journey following Gertrude, only to face separation and uncertainty. The beginning of the collection introduces us to Guy Wharton, a young man in love with Gertrude Wylde amidst the backdrop of 1587 England.
