On the morning after Lord Ravenswood's funeral, you sat in the old castle library while the legal officer requested an urgent hearing. Yesterday an Episcopal priest met the coffin at the ruined chapel and opened the service forbidden by your warrant. You step into this one-chapter preview with Edgar Ravenswood at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Lucy watched Edgar vanish while her father faced the cost of sending the papers locked in his cabinet. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
