OF THE FALL...To each, romance was a game, a contest of wit and will, a match to be wagered upon and won at any cost. But in those dark days of shifting loyalties and twisted secrets, seduction was far more than courtly ritual. It was an all-or-nothing play for power in which one misstep could bring a fall.
