Chapter 1

Read Chapter 1

“I never took you for a coward, brother. Or remiss in your duties, come to that.”

“Remiss?” Gwindor folded his arms. The music soared, and the beat of the drum grew fast and wild. “Explain.”

“Our lord commands us to guard and protect him while he visits his nephew. Instead you spend all night staring at his great-niece, and yet you're afraid even to speak with her.”

“I am not staring.” Across the room, Finduilas laughed, cheeks alight in the fire's glow. “And I am not afraid.”

Gelmir's eyes gleamed. “Then ask her for a dance.”
