🔥 Rebellion rises from the ashes of the mine. In Chapter 13: Reckoning in Dust and Blood, the ground itself delivers judgment. Roland De Mowbray bleeds, his empire collapses, and the people he once ruled now roar for justice. 💋 Lady Alianor stands tall—blood-spattered, defiant—holding the stolen De Mowbray ring aloft as proof of her husband’s deceit. ⚔️ Eamon Thorne, broken but unyielding, raises his axe to defend her. 🙏 Father Clement risks his life to speak the truth. 😨 Osric cowers as his world of ledgers burns away, while Gareth and the miners’ families turn grief into uprising. The mine groans, the crowd howls, and the tyrant’s lies crumble beneath the weight of the earth’s memory. This is not just collapse—it is reckoning. The Scandalous Hours reach their fiercest crescendo in a storm of blood, dust, and long-buried truth. 🎧 Listen now to Lady Aurelia Ravenshade’s chilling narration as she stands amidst the ruin, whispering scandal into the smoke of judgment.
