In 1591, Andrew Bennett was a lord in Queen Elizbeth’s court, full of joy and laughter.
Mary Seward was the Queen’s personal handmaiden and the woman Andrew “treasured above all who lived.”
She was my light — my life…
As he did every evening, Andrew went on a horseback ride to enjoy the solitude, the silence…
The man told him that his vision of a just universe was a lie and that the goodness he embraced was a sham.
Andrew died, then after three days and nights, he awakened, keeping to himself until…
After her rebirth, though, Mary was… something different, embracing the dark side and proclaiming they would be “rulers on a throne of blood!”
That night I vowed that I would find her again — that I would save the soul that I had despoiled…
…even if it took forever.
