Death In The Floating City (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Nevertheless, as time marched ruthlessly on, she lost hope she would ever see her love again. She accepted this, content with his words and his promise that he would never marry so long as she could not be his. Was it wrong of her, then, to wish God would take her husband from her soon? Besina hated Uberto more each day, resenting what he had made her become. She wanted to be a devoted wife. She wanted children. But on those counts, nothing could go right. Three years had passed since she was forced to marry this odious man. Since then, she had three times been with child and twice given birth to infants who did not survive their first night. The first was a girl, with a thick crop of dark hair. The second, another girl, this one with the thinnest wisps of red-gold curls. If Uberto was disappointed, he did not register his opinion with his wife. It was only when his son was born that his manner changed. When the midwife sent a serving girl to tell him the news following the third confinement, Besina did not expect any response.
