Book Cover & Preview Text
That night Constance tossed and turned her dream came back but this time it was different. The Earl appeared, but this time she was being dragged, through a crowd of people, they were shouting, it was so loud. Shouts of heretic, witch, demon lover all directed at her. People threw things like fruits, vegetables and rotting eggs. They hit her face and dripped down her front. She was dressed in rags, but had a crown of white roses on her head. Her arms were bound in chains that dug into her flesh. Her muscles hurt as she was being dragged towards a wooden stake set up in the center of the crowd. The roar of the crowd was deafening as the guards tied her to the stake, pulling the chains as tight as possible to hold her in place. The pain was excruciating. Her heart pounded in her chest. As the, heckles of the towns folk continued she realized she was in a market square. Looking around she recognized the place as if she had been there before everything felt familiar, this dream felt more like a memory.
