BOOK EXCERPT
She locked her jaw to steady
herself. Since her eighteenth birthday, when she’d finally been allowed to
fight with the warriors, she swore an oath each morning to protect their
village. Never again would an Englishman enter their inner circle unhindered. Her
people had learned the terrible lesson well the last time. Memory of her
mother’s lifeless eyes tried to surface, but she pushed the distraction away.
Pressing against the bow, she took a
final breath to aim, then let the arrow fly. Guide its path, Lord.
A roar broke the morning quiet,
radiating from the rocky cliffs like the bellow of a wounded bear. The man
doubled over, wrapping his arms around his middle. The long slender shaft of
her arrow extended from the leathers that clothed him.
She inhaled a steadying breath, then
released it. She’d done what she must to protect her people. Now came the time
to uncover his reason for approaching the circle. Her home.
The safety of her people.

MacManus gripped the arrow shaft with both hands, forcing his body to draw in
air despite the agony in his gut.
