The Boar Stone: Book Three Of The Dalriada Trilogy - Plot & Excerpts
The man betrayed no anxiety about what had transpired. Gede had to admit that everything he had heard about this Cahir was being overturned.A Roman lover. A coward. A gelding with no will of his own. That is what people whispered.But this man had surprised him. There were no fanciful Roman touches about his person, no brooches, no ridiculous attempts at a toga, no perfumes to make him stink of Rome. And nothing obsequious. If there was one thing Gede hated, it was oily words and smiles. The fact this king spoke plainly and his eyes were proud had made Gede – unwillingly – sprout the merest kernal of respect for him.Or perhaps wariness. This king was a stronger enemy on his flank than Gede had ever supposed, based on their sporadic clashes over the years. Over time the Roman Province had provided far richer pickings, and it had been to this that Gede increasingly applied his resources, merely setting a watch on the gaels. He would have given more thought to that defence had he known this Cahir was not the plump, perfumed king of his imagination.Taran stood by to translate as Cahir took a seat and accepted a cup of ale.
