## Resource

A murdered jester rises from the grave as the Shadow Knight to reclaim the woman he loves. Miles Courtenay, beloved jester of William the Conqueror’s court, is slain in cold blood by the jealous Sir Roul de Montfort. His grieving wife, Mélisende, is abducted and imprisoned in a lonely tower — told she must “learn” to love the man who killed her husband. But death is not the end. Miles’s shadow lingers beside his fallen body, and something ancient awakens. Armoured in darkness, reborn as the Shadow Knight, he rides to the fortress where Mélisende is held captive. Torches flicker. Horses panic. Guards whisper of demons and ghosts as fear spreads like plague through the castle walls. Sir Roul believes he can win Mélisende’s heart by force. The Shadow Knight knows better. Love is the jest fate never laughs at — and death itself cannot keep them apart. A dark, romantic, supernatural medieval novella about obsession, devotion, and a love strong enough to defy the grave. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
