Ferragost by Melina Marchetta

Ferragost (The Lumatere Chronicles, #2.5)

by Melina Marchetta

A short story featured in Review of Australian Fiction.

Lady Celie of the Lumateran Flatlands is visiting the Belegonian spring castle on the isle of Ferragost. Cut off from the rest of Belegonia by poor weather, she is confined to the island with four others, including the mysterious castellan of the castle. When the body of one of the guests is discovered on the rocks outside the east tower, Celie is not only considered a suspect, but finds herself embroiled in events that are entwined with her own kingdom's cursed history, as well as the future of the entire land of Skuldenore.

Leave it to Melina Marchetta to write such a tormented and complex short story. I want more of the web she begins to weave in Lumetere in this story.
