Finding The Way And Other Tales Of Valdemar (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
:Thatch!: They had to be close to the most eastern of the cattle-holds that fanned out a day’s travel from Devin. And no one purposely burned thatch so early in the spring with no straw available to replace it. “Go!” Jors bent low in the saddle, eyes narrowed to protect them from flying ends of mane as Gervais lengthened his stride. They crested the ridge, saw the cattlehold laid out beneath them, saw smoke rising from one of the barns, saw three riders race away to the northwest. Even with the lead they had, Gervais could have caught them—no horse outran a Companion—but just then the first flash of flame showed on the edge of the barn and a horse screamed. :Chosen?: Gervais had turned toward the cattlehold but Jors had turned body and reins toward the riders. The rider closest to them twisted in the saddle—a woman with a long dark braid and matching dark eyes, and a smile that faltered when she saw Jors watching. He shouldn’t have been able to see her expression at this distance, but she looked surprised.
