Excerpt from: Enchanted by Elizabeth Lowell

Autumn in the reign of King Henry I.

Stone Ring Keep, home of Lord Duncan and Lady Amber, in the Disputed Lands at the northern reaches of Norman England.

"Which will it be," Ariane whispered to herself, "a wedding or a wake "

Ariane stared at the dagger in her hands, but no answer came to her save that of candlelight running like silver blood over the blade. As she looked at the ghostly blood, the question rang again within the silence of her mind.

A wedding or a wake

The answer that finally came was no comfort to Ariane.

It matters not. They are but different words for the same thing.

Beyond Stone Ring Keep's high walls, the wind wailed of coming winter.

Ariane didn't hear the mournful cry. She heard nothing but echoes of the past, when her mother had pressed the jeweled dagger into her daughter's small hands.

In her mind Ariane could still see the dark flash of amethysts and feel the cold weight of silver. Her mother's words had been even more chilling.

Hell has no punishment greater than a cruel marriage bed. Use this rather than lie beneath a man you do not love.

Unfortunately, Ariane's mother had not lived long enough to tell her daughter how to use the weapon, or upon whom. Whose wake should it be, the groom's or bride's

Should I kill myself or should I kill Simon, whose only crime is to agree to marry me out of loyalty to his brother, Lord Dominic of Blackthorne Keep

Loyalty.
