"I'm on trial for the murder of my husband William. But no one knows the truth about my marriage. I sit in the dock each day and listen to them tell their lies. That William wasn't taking arsenic, that he was a nobleman who would never hurt anyone. That I'm a cunning, deceitful woman who should hang for what I've done. Everyone betrayed me. My best friend, the family, the servants. Even my lover. They think because I purchased arsenic that I'm the one who poisoned him. They think I'm dangerous. They think I'm mad. But when this trial is over it will only be the beginning. Because I won't rest until I get my revenge, even if I must claw myself from an unconsecrated grave to do it."--
