Shadowdance 05 - A Dance Of Ghosts - Plot & Excerpts
She went to her room and sat down on the bed beside Nathaniel, who’d been waiting there per her request. “Is everything all right?” her son asked. Alyssa wrapped the boy in her arms, holding him against her as she struggled for the right words. “It will be,” she said. “I promise, it will be.” That was it; she had nothing more for him, but she’d wanted him close for a moment, to remind herself why she did what she was about to do. “Go on,” she said. “And tell one of the servants to find Lord Victor and show him to my room.” “Yes, Mother,” Nathaniel said.

One struggle at a time. The door opened, and she heard a man clear his throat. “Milady?”
