CHAPTER 1

In the early hours of the morning, Count Samuel d’Orleans and his wife Anna lay asleep in bed, entwined in each other’s arms. The castle and its grounds were serene and reverted back to how they were before the raucous wedding. Hugo and Azure stared up at the window. Their tense expressions suggesting something was wrong. A crash jolted the couple awake, and Samuel sat up, looking for an explanation.

What’s happening? asked Anna.

Glass smashed all over the chateau, and he jumped from bed and peeked through the window. Doing so, he found hundreds of peasants running across the garden. They brandished weapons and screamed obscenities at both he and Anna. Samuel scanned the mob, trying to find a reason for the rampage, and caught sight of Henri, speaking with a member of the horde. The servant laughed and joked with the individual, meaning he was part of the disruption.

Traitor.

Samuel’s head shook, not understanding the reasons for such animosity. It was not the time to determine why they hated him. So he skulked back to bed, and kissed a quivering Anna on the lips.

We must leave straight away. Put on your coat and shoes, he told her.

Why? What’s going on? she asked, about to look out the window.

Samuel clasped his hands around her shoulders, stopping her from seeing the upheaval.

If we don’t leave this minute, we will not survive. So please do as I say, he repeated.

Anna and Samuel got down from their luxurious bed and put on their coats and shoes. He clutched her hand, feeling the warmth of her skin against his, and rushed out of the room. The mob entered the house through every door and window leaving the couple no choice but to head toward the turmoil. They raced downstairs and were about to walk into the mirrored hall, when dozens of intruders stormed the room. Samuel lurched against the wall, thrusting Anna back with his arm, and they sidled back into the foyer.

What are we going to do? They’ll find us, she whispered.

I’ll think of something.

Ava rushed into the house from outside and came into contact with the terrified couple. Samuel let out a grateful breath on seeing his friend.

Thank God, you’re here. You have to help us, Samuel told her.

The maid’s eyes were cold, resembling those of a doll’s. Samuel’s forehead creased, knowing something was amiss.

They count and countess are in the foyer! Ava screeched.

In a matter of seconds, dozens of marauding thugs spilled into the foyer from all directions, trapping Samuel and Anna at the foot of the stairs.

I love you, my darling, Anna said sadly.

The posse charged at the couple, and were seconds from obliterating them, when Hugo and Azure raced downstairs and lunged
