Sorry, I know it's short, but I have also put the first chapter up. Any criticism is appriciated; please review. Enjoy!
The Secrets of Jesslaw
Prologue:
Her father stared intently at the sleeping newborn's face, feelings of joy welling up inside of him triggered by that tiny innocent child.
But Dominic of Jesslaw was also thinking of other things. He had seen, since the moment his daughter was born, that she was alert, her shining green eyes intent on everything.
She was quick as lightning to turn her small head just in time to see the midwife coming through the door with just having had the sound of a footfall outside the entrance for a warning.
Some knights have to get thrown on their backs for years by their foes before they develop that skill, he had thought. She'd be perfect for one.
But, he sighed, her mother, Jasmina, would never allow it, even if Elodie wanted it more than anything in the world.
I'll just figure it out when the time comes, he told himself sternly.
