The Lady knows the stories: that her eyes induce madness in men. \n\nThe Lady knows she will be wed to the Scottish brute, who does not leave his warrior ways behind when he comes to the marriage bed. \n\nThe Lady knows his hostile, suspicious court will be a game of survival, requiring all of her wiles and hidden witchcraft to survive. \n\nBut the Lady does not know her husband has occult secrets of his own. She does not know that prophecy girds him like armour. She does not know that her magic is greater, and more dangerous, and that it will threaten the order of the world. \n\nShe does not know this yet. But she will.
