Lysbeth Book 3 Chapter 25 - The Red Mill

In which the weary Adrian and his scheming father find refuge in the bleak and desolate Red Mill, where a fatal game of cards and harrowing guests bring to light dark designs and uneasy destinies. As the wintry sea roars beyond the dunes, the shadows of love and honour entwine amidst threats and whispered bargains in a place where law and mercy seem long forsaken.
