...Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov, a controversial figure in Russian politics whose regime human rights groups have linked to a variety of human-rights violations, has entered two horses to participate in Melbourne's Spring Carnival, a series of thoroughbred horse races that are held through October and November. His stallion Bankable is set to start in the $655,000 LKS Mackinnon Stakes race on Oct. 31, and his gelding Mourilyan will race in the Melbourne Cup itself.

The Stable Boy was on the chair behind her, stroking Felicity with practiced fingers as he murmured...
...Frightened and frenzied, the stallion reared and Felicity fell onto the floor beside Frederick. Stunned, she looked up at the chandelier that was ablaze like molten gold above her. She saw it dimly wobble and fall, slowly, like an autumnal leaf from a tree. The hot crystals splintered all about her in bright glittering shards that pierced her naked skin. She turned and found Frederick and clasped his mutilated corpse in her arms. The flames drew around them like bed curtains: their eternal nuptials...
