Redgauntlet

At the George Inn in Dumfries, Darsie Latimer settled alone beside the fire and began a letter to the friend who had left him at Noble House. Alan's farewell sounded like a complaint that I roam in summer while he returns to a narrow chamber and books of law. You step into this one-chapter preview with Alan Fairford at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The letter left your hand while the road waited, and the family you were forbidden to seek remained somewhere beyond its unnamed limit. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
