Rookwood
Authorship not stated
You are Luke, brought by your grandfather, sexton Peter Bradley, into Rookwood's midnight vault to learn a secret about your mother, Susan Bradley: a hidden marriage to Sir Piers Rookwood that would make you heir before cousin Ranulph. Opening her coffin, you find a wedding ring locked onto her hand, and an accident tears the hand free as something stirs in the vault's dark. You leave with hand and ring as evidence — and meet a rider from the Hall: Sir Piers has taken a turn, asking for the sexton.
