Lysbeth: A Tale of the Dutch

Lysbeth van Hout skated toward Leyden's winter fete while Dirk van Goorl remained delayed by work at his bell foundry. Hot metal keeps its own hour, but a promise should allow enough time to send warning. You step into this one-chapter preview with Lysbeth van Hout at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The Wolf turned from the victorious crowd toward the lonely moat, carrying Lysbeth to a judgment she had not consented to witness. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
