Epigraph

The wedding ritual that binds draca, an offering of marriage gold blessed by the Church, is central to aristocratic Englishness. Yet, in this Enlightened era, we cannot deny the evidence of binding in cultures different from our own.

The empowerment of binding is a female right, independent of religion, class, or love.

I shall not give you any advice.
