Longing to escape the colourless monotony of her days and step into a world gilded with silks and stillness, Jane dared to reach for something beyond her grasp. Whether it was innocence that drove her or a quiet hunger she could no longer deny, she did not know. But in doing so, she drew the gaze of Lady Blackwood... a gaze weighted with both promise and peril.
Even the deer sharpen knives
for their own undoing,
offering themselves,
fresh upon your altar.
So take me.
Eat of my flesh,
drink of my blood-
sweetened,
hidden,
poured into wine.
~ Jane's Confession ~
