Life Cycles, Second-Hand Dresses 43, and Coming Next

Even though she is no longer in the High Society circles, Lily still has a chance to go to the party to see how Nirih's dress is presented. Nothing prepares her, however, with what else would happen that night.

Life Cycles

I don't like flashbacks. This is partially because of my master plan with this novel but also because I think little hints are better than showing those scenes. However, the duel has always been a big part of this story, but the one in the past and the presented in this chapter. They are both the beginning and the end for Lily, a bracket for her life.

Many of my stories ties the earlier chapters with the first. The last chapter of Sand and Bone[1] is directly tied into the first chapter of Sand and Blood[2].

Second-Hand Dresses 43: The Event

Lily is at the party where Nirih is to be presented to society. It is a chance to see how her dress is views and could mark the beginning or end of her career as a seamstress. But the presentation isn't the only chaos destined for the night, other parts of her life are put in jeopardy because of one man's jealousy.
