Excerpt from Goddesses Three, Vol. 1 of 2: A Novel

It was close upon midnight. The moon was sailing high in the cloudless sky, and the mountains were bathed in a flood of light. Down in the ravine, where the dark pine-forests grew, and climbed the rocky walls of the hills on either side, the shadows were intensely black; but on a precipitous rock that jutted out at the head of the valley, the Castle of Adlofstein stood clear of the woods, its massive towers sharply defined in the bright moonlight.

The summer night was perfectly still; not a breath of air was stirring in the pine-branches, and the silence was absolute; but it was broken suddenly - suddenly and terribly.
