GOLDEN BROWN — THE WITCH OF BLACKMERE Blackmere, England — 1372. Blackmere was a small medieval village surrounded by golden fields, dark forests and old stone houses. Elena worked at her family’s market stall, hiding a dangerous secret. She was a witch. No one knew. If they did, she would be condemned and burned. But magic wasn’t Elena’s only problem. Her father had arranged her marriage to Lord Vane, an old and wealthy nobleman. The wedding was only days away. Elena refused to become his wife. That night, she packed her cloak, a knife and her grandmother’s spellbook—and fled into the forest. But the village had already sent someone after her. Sir Dean Winchester, a knight serving the king, had arrived in Blackmere to investigate strange events. The villagers believed a witch was responsible. He had been ordered to find her. And now he was following Elena’s trail through the forest. Neither of them knew that the woman he was hunting was the very woman he had spoken to at the marketplace that morning. By dawn, Dean finally spotted a faint golden light between the trees. He reached for his sword. And Elena realized— the king’s knight had found her.
