Roanoke (The Keepers Of The Ring) - Plot & Excerpts
“Stop!” Thomas roared. She blinked as he hurled his precious prayer book across the room, missing her head by inches. “Such things are of the Devil!” The prayer book fell to the floor with a thud as Jocelyn stared at her husband in mute astonishment. His face paled, and he opened his mouth as if to speak, but then abruptly turned and slammed the door as he stormed outside. The creaking of the latch woke her a few hours later, and she heard him quietly reenter the house. He shed his doublet, removed his boots and leggings, and slid carefully beneath the blankets, trying, she knew, not to wake her. She did not stir, but kept her back to him.

He was stubborn, immovable, implacable, and totally without understanding.
