So the stories were true. Growing up, I’d heard whispers about a warrior in Blackthorn with three wives. Most dismissed it as nothing more than a campfire tale. They said none of the women had been chosen for him by the Moon Goddess, which meant it wasn’t a true marriage. Such a union could never last. It could never be happy.
