. . but when Emilie walked into the glittering and crowded banquet hall, nobody would have guessed that she was a ghost. Her body was solid to sight and touch, her feet stepped firmly on the marble floor, and she even fancied she could feel her heart racing. Time to find her murderer. Her whole body tensed as the compulsion for vengeance rose up in her, and she looked fiercely around the crowd. Soon, soon, she would find the person who had strangled her, and then she would have her revenge. With time, she had been told, the urge for vengeance would grow into an all-consuming ache, a terrible hunger that she would do anything to satiate. And if she couldn’t, eventually it would become an ever-present emptiness within her, robbing her of true joy or contentment for the rest of her existence. Which, as far as anyone knew, would last forever. The court was filled with ghosts whose chance for vengeance and peace had passed them by. They made the best of the half-existence left to them, participating in the life of the court, in festivities and races and hunts.
