The Penwyth curse

Dear Reader: How would you like to be eighteen and four times a widow? If you live with a curse, sometimes things like this happen. And so they did. We have two sets of heroes/heroines; one set is in the present (1278 A.D.) and the other set is, quite simply, sometime else. We have both over- and underlapping stories, a dynamite mystery, lovers underfoot (visit with Dienwald and Philippa from Earth Song) and mega-doses of magic and mayhem. Come back to the present, and maybe even further back than that. I hope you have lots of fun, and smile until your jaws lock.

  • "King Edward I rewards Sir Bishop of Lythe for rescuing his favorite daughter born out of wedlock by naming him the latest spouse of eighteen year-old Merryn de Gay, a four time widow and mistress of Penwyth Castle. His Highness believes that Bishop might just be the person who can end the curse allegedly placed by witches or Druids that any male who takes Penwyth Castle by force or assaults its mistress will die as some of the King's men have. In a bygone era, a wizard also seeks the love of an elusive butterfly."@en

It is said that any man who take Penwyth and its mistress by force will die before his wedding night. Lovely Merryn has already been widowed four times! Yet Bishop has a plan to win her without risking his life: He presents himself not as a suitor, but as the man the King has sent to lift the curse once and for all."@en
