After Pinkie, Elspeth Glendinning held the remote tower of Glendearg with two sons and news of her husband's death. Grief cannot bar the gate, boys; watch the glen while English parties range the abbey lands. You step into this one-chapter preview with Edward Glendinning at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Night settled over a tower protected by English power while sheltering those that power had dispossessed. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
