(For the Abhorsen/Old Kingdom story series by Garth Nix...to those of you who know what that is, plezplezplez comment!)1
The Borderlands are never a safe place to be, even less so on a dark, moonless night, and as a thin man hurries up the shadowy Old North Road, he clutches a woollen cloak tighter about his bony frame and cautiously casts a Charter mark to warn him of any approaching Dead. 2
The mark flares once, golden light illuminating the dirt road and the surrounding dark trees, and then fades to a dim outline. The man exhales, relieved: he doesn’t want the light or conspicuous magic of the Charter attracting fell creatures.3
You, reader, may ask who this man is. Is he an Abhorsen? Is he the Liaison To Ancelstierre, a diplomat? Or is he merely a lonely, traveling Charter Mage, blessing villages and performing burials on his never-ending travels. The third answer, I think, is the truest sense, although this man has been all three in his time.

Nice. I would suggest though not just naming it "prologue". Cuz when your gold membership runs out you'll have to change it.
