"There is no fulfillment that is not made sweeter for
the prolonging of desire."
---Jacqueline Carey, Kushiel's Dart
The widow physician of Goatswood arrived by train in the middle of the night. Clutching a small parcel tightly in her gloved hands, she anxiously stepped from the car as steam swirled around her feet. Pulling her widow's veil more to shroud her face, she timidly made her way through the village.
She ran from her life in Southhampton, the daughter of a long line of physicians and healers dating back centuries. Educated in the America's, Arielle tried to forget her past, the sting of being little but an adornment as her intended sought his affections elsewhere. The naive young woman knows well enough what it means to lose love... though not by the taking of his life
Secrets... lies... deception.... all woven into the black swaths of fabric she adorned herself in. Nothing was as it seemed in the sleepy little village of Goatswood, least of all the widow physician.
