A mother and father swinging their young daughter between them, all of us smiling and laughing as we headed to Cliff Park in Dubinshire for the Springsday Festival. My father was a great dominus, a noble swordsman. Until that last battle which had left him crippled, he'd fought in many battles for the Temple, defending the Goddess from naysayers.
My mother and I were both so proud of him. Or I thought we were.. My parents kept careful secrets hidden from the world behind well-chosen lies.

Little did I know that I had the biggest piece of history right in front of me..."Annae Bytherhourn's life changes when she discovers her father is really a stranger.
