It is said that in death, all things become clear; Ensei Tankadonow knew it was true.
As he clutched his chest and fell to theground in pain, he realized the horror of his
mistake.
People appeared, hovering over him, trying to help. But Tankadodid not want helpit
was too late for that.
Trembling, he raised his left hand and held his fingers outward.Look at my hand! The
faces around him stared, but he couldtell they did not understand.
On his finger was an engraved golden ring. For an instant, themarkings glimmered in
the Andalusian sun. Ensei Tankado knew it wasthe last light he would ever see.
CHAPTER 1
They were in the smoky mountains at their favoritebed-and-breakfast. David was
smiling down at her. "What do yousay, gorgeous? Marry me?"
Looking up from their canopy bed, she knew he was the one.Forever. As she stared
into his deep-green eyes, somewhere in thedistance a deafening bell began to ring. It
was pulling him away.She reached for him, but her arms clutched empty air.
It was the sound of the phone that fully awoke Susan Fletcherfrom her dream. She
gasped, sat up in bed, and fumbled for thereceiver. "Hello?"
"Susan, it's David. Did I wake you?"
She smiled, rolling over in bed. "I was just dreaming ofyou. Come over and play."
He laughed. "It's still dark out."
"Mmm." She moaned sensuously. "Then definitely come over and play. We can sleep
in before we headnorth."
David let out a frustrated sigh. "That's why I'mcalling. It's about our trip. I've got
topostpone."
Susan was suddenly wide awake. "What!"
"I'm sorry. I've got to leave town. I'll beback by tomorrow. We can head up first
