Strong As Death (Catherine LeVendeur) - Plot & Excerpts
The cusp of dawn, Saturday, May 2, 1142; The Feast of Saint Athanasius, stubborn bishop and exile. … et simul imbres cadant, flumina increscant, maria sedibus suis excita procurrant et omnia uno agmine ad exitum humani generis incumbant. … and at the same time the rains will fall, the rivers flood, the seas will rush forth wildly from their beds and all as one concerted force will concentrate itself upon the destruction of the human race. —Seneca, Naturales Quaestiones Book III, 27. 1 Edgar, sliding down the hill, had met Hubert hurrying up. “Don’t let her follow!” Edgar had yelled. “Where’s Solomon?” “We were all camped on high ground,” Hubert panted, “but at the first roar, he leaped up and went off in search of that jael. I came to find you. Eliazar is taking care of the horses and moving the luggage up to the priory.” “I don’t understand this,” Edgar shouted above the roar. “It hasn’t been raining. Why should the river suddenly flood?”
