Dark Under The Cover Of Night (The Kingdom Of The East Angles Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
Raedwyn had always loved Yule, especially in milder winters when she and her kin would join the people of Rendlaesham outdoors in the celebrations. However, this mid-winter solstice she could not dredge up much enthusiasm. The winter’s chill had crept into her father’s hall since that fateful evening. Despite the roaring hearth in the center of the Great Hall, the atmosphere within the timber walls was frosty. The queen spent most of her time weaving in her bower while the king sulked. Everyone, including the servants, was unsmiling and on-edge, as if they expected hostilities to re-erupt at any time. Raedwyn remembered happy occasions on past years. Apart from the special food they would prepare and enjoy, one of Raedwyn’s favorite traditions at Yuletide was placing cakes in the boughs of the oldest apple trees in the orchards outside Rendlaesham. They would sacrifice animals under the trees and let their blood soak into the earth to give thanks for the fruit. The sacrifice also ensured that the trees produced abundant fruit in the future.
