The Earl’s Bride

The map was old, its edges frayed, but the path it showed was unmistakable.
He was the kind of man who kept his word, even when it cost him.
The letter was still on the table, unopened, as it had been for three days.

There were stories told of this place, and none of them ended well.
The end.
