Publisher Description

"Death The Knight And The Lady" by H. The 15th century is the setting for the ghost story De Vere Stacpoole. The plot centers on the tragic saga of Sir James Douglas, a knight who, after killing his wife in a fit of rage, is cursed to live his entire life as a ghost. Until he locates a woman who will willingly become his wife and break the curse, the knight is doomed to wander the earth. The ghost of Sir James encounters a young lady who he thinks might be the one to break the curse centuries later. She is a kind and compassionate woman, but she is also engaged to be married to a man named John. Sir James decides to test her loyalty and devotion by appearing to her as a ghost and asking her to marry him. She is understandably terrified by the spectral presence, but she cares about the knight and decides to assist him. In the end, the ghost of Sir James finally finds peace and is able to rest in peace knowing that he has done the right thing. The story is a haunting tale of love, sacrifice, and redemption that explores the idea of what it means to be truly human.
