I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.

The forests of the Chase were said to be home to nixies and boggarts, and there was a common belief, passed down through many generations, that the castle housed an unquiet ghost of terrible and malign power. These rumours I can attest were all true; indeed they fell short of the truth by a long way . . .

From an early age, it is drilled into our heads: Restlessness, distraction, and ignorance are the enemies of success.
