Defiance (The Priestess Trilogy) - Plot & Excerpts
She could hear the crackle and popping of a fire and smell a sweet scent in the air. Taking a deep breath and releasing it, the priestess rolled onto her side and opened her eyes. She found Meara crouched beside the hearth, stirring a small cauldron that stood suspended over the flames. Shiovra sat up slowly and pushed the blankets aside. A quick glance around the cottage told her that they were alone. Her handmaid, Úna was nowhere to be seen. The Neimidh woman glanced up. “Good morning, Lady Shiovra,” Meara said with a warm smile. Shiovra smiled and nodded. “That smells delightful,” she replied. “Did you make that yourself?” Meara shook her head. “Ainmire brought this earlier, while you slept,” she replied. “I was just keeping it warm.” Grabbing a clay bowl, she filled it with the steaming oatmeal before handing it to the priestess. Thanking her, Shiovra brought it up and breathed in the aroma deeply, welcoming the sweet smell.
