The Glass Casket
“THE STAR THE HOUSE WAS quiet that night when Rowan stole out of bed and crept down the stairs. She knew that going outside the village barrier at the witching hour was inviting disaster, but she had to know what was going on with Tom. He wasn’t just her betrothed; he was her best friend, and he was in some kind of trouble. She was sure of it. After choosing a black cloak from the closet, she retrieved a dagger from her father’s study and slipped it inside her boot. She was fairly certain that a... dagger would do little to protect her against whatever walked the woods, but the cold steel flush against her calf reassured her.
She made her way through the village, stealing past the illuminated windows at the front of the tavern, and rounding the back of the inn, hiding herself among the shadows. A twig snapping caught her off guard, and she twisted her head to peer into the darkness behind her, but there was nothing more. No movement, no sound. She kept her eyes trained on the back door of the tavern, and when it swung open, her heart lurched, but it wasn’t Tom.MoreLess
