About this story
A man steps out of the trees and stops it. Eleven chapters of a castle, a game of chess he challenges you to rather than answer a question, and a grand ball being thrown for a cousin who demanded one — by a lord who would plainly rather not be around anybody at all.
Who you’ll meet
The werewolf-lord love interest - the commanding master of a superstitious old-world village the reader wakes into, wolf and lord at once.
How it opens
You stir awake and are greeted with the smell of earth.
Confused, you blink and squint at the light breaking through trees.
What brought you here, evil spirit?
I'm not an evil spirit.
Lies!
You have appeared out of thin air.
