Margery (Gred): A Tale Of Old Nuremberg — Volume 07

Margery is a headstrong young woman living in bustling, medieval Nuremberg, where the clang of armor and the lowing of horses mix with whispers of robbery and bloodshed on the high roads. She watches her uncle, a grizzled veteran of countless skirmishes, bark orders while the town’s constable calls for mounted outriders to protect precious caravans. The atmosphere is thick with tension: foxes yelp in the night, owls flit over the walls, and the streets seem to teem with thieves who cut off a bleacher’s ears for sport.

Undeterred by her uncle’s harsh warnings, Margery mounts a swift Hungarian palfrey and vows to chase after Ann, a mysterious figure who has vanished into danger. Her resolve pits youthful daring against seasoned caution, setting the stage for a desperate ride through shadowy woods and cracked city gates. As the men of the household scramble to stop her, the story promises a chase that will test loyalty, bravery, and the thin line between impulse and disaster.
