House Moore was powerful, but it always lived in the shadow of Houses Deveraux and Cahors.

A closer alliance between those two houses would essentially create a king and queen of Coventry. That couldn't be allowed to happen. Roland's father was old and ill and could do nothing to save his house.

Roland sacrificed every manner of animal and human to the Horned God and was at last given his answer. He watched and he waited for his time to strike.

"Where are you going?" Catherine asked Nicolette. It was late, and their parents were asleep.

Nicolette had woken Catherine up.Even in the light of the single candle Catherine could see her sister blushing. "I'm going to see Elijah," she whispered.

Catherine crossed her arms. "I don't think Father would like that very much."

"That's why you're not going to tell him," Nicolette said, her voice hardening.

Catherine wanted to stop her and she couldn't. As she watched Nicolette's dark figure slip into the night, she felt helpless. Something bad was going to happen and she couldn't stop it.

When the morning came and Roland Moore arrived to tell them that Nicolette had been murdered by Elijah, who had escaped, her fears were realized. She should have stopped her sister from going to see the Deveraux man. She wished she had more power, and she vowed she would find it no matter the cost and no matter who she had to sacrifice to.

Roland Moore wept openly as he returned home and delivered the news that Nicolette Cahors had murdered Elijah and then escaped capture. The Moores and the Deveraux grieved together and began to plot their revenge against the treacherous Cahors.

Laurent seethed with rage. His brother, the only one of his family he had ever cared for, had been taken from him. He would never let something like that happen again, no matter that he had to move heaven and hell or change time itself to do it.
