Generated by AI · Cover art generated by AI
Near the end of a spring day, two footsore travellers approached Douglas Castle through country divided by war. Three Scottish miles remain, Augustine, and the castle gate will be barred before our tired feet find it. You step into this one-chapter preview with Bertram at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The archers treated hesitation as cause to hold both travellers until the governor answered. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
