Dark Moon Defender (Twelve Houses) - Plot & Excerpts
Not just the novices and the other freighter but, within five minutes, two convent guards, who showed up to oversee this interaction between the novices and city folk. But Ellynor was acutely aware of him—every gesture he made, every word he uttered, every glance he sent her way. How could he come here? How could he? Perhaps there was no risk to it, not really, for all sorts of visitors came to the convent and left again and didn’t make a ripple in their calm lives. But there was something about Justin that was not calm. There was an inherent challenge in the way he stood, in the way he carelessly swung bundles down and settled them into Lia’s arms, or Astira’s. In the way he looked around, really looked, as if curious to know the exact layout of the compound, the square footage given over to gardening, the number of guards visible on the walls. In the way he gazed at her, when she had the courage to glance his way. You might stay away from me, his expression seemed to say, but I will not stay away from you. It terrified her.
