   Summary

   ''A knight cannot allow a lady's mission of mercy to be thwarted by a mere piece of wood''.
   In the fertile heart of the Reach, Lady Jeyne Beesbury lives in a world woven from fables, flower-pressing, and the gentle humming of the Honeyholt apiaries. She is the porcelain doll of her house - ethereal, sentimental, and dreaming of the gallant protectors found only in old songs.
   She never expected the gods to answer her with Ser Gwayne Hightower.
