Northmere is a small town in northwestern Vermont, set along the quiet waters of a glacial lake. Its brick storefronts, maple lined streets, and surrounding hardwood forests give it a warm, grounded character. Life here moves at a gentler pace, shaped by the changing seasons and the steady rhythm of small town routines.

The town is closely tied to Lucy Pendragon’s early life. Raised by Daniel and Jesse Carter, she grew up among neighbors who looked after one another with genuine care. Porch lights left on for late walkers, shared meals during hard times, and familiar faces along Main Street all contributed to the sense of belonging that shaped her view of the world.

Though far removed from the ancient landscapes of England, Northmere remains the emotional foundation of Lucy’s story. It taught her kindness, patience, and the quiet strength that comes from community, qualities that guide her long before she discovers her true heritage across the ocean.

Northmere is a fictional town created for the Lucy Pendragon series.
