Chetwynde Castle showed neglect in every silent room except the dining room prepared for an old friend. Years have passed, Pomeroy, and you find me almost exactly where we parted. You step into this one-chapter preview with Lord Chetwynde at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Before Guy had heard one word of the plan, his road back to Chetwynde had begun. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
