Burial Time:
5 hours 17 minutes - 10 hours 15 minutes

Characters:
Verraily May, Rolf the Gate Guard - The castle begins to realize that Karma is missing. Cowen and Joppa-by-the-Sea.

Ileana, Karma - Karma reveals that she is a slave and we see how the Grave Keeper is used to keep the victim alive. Note: I have no intention of writing extensively about watersports, but as a reader you kind of have to know how all that business is to be handled in this world.

Evanescent, Morgana, Pet - Apparently each royal has a personal witch to help out. Evanescent is the Princess’s Witch, Morgana - the Queen’s. Seniority follows the royal’s position. Introduction of the “Crown’s Concern” - a virus which can be used as a weapon somehow and essentially the dowry of the Princess. Karma has a managed version of the disease. We learn the origin of Pet and her limitations.
