The Bretwalda (The Casere Book 4) - Plot & Excerpts
The four-day ride was uneventful; no large body of men waited to confront them, and they finally stood on the hills overlooking Katane. On the other side was Mazra. Katane was alight; pillars of smoke rose into the sky, and ships littered the harbour. The Axum had taken his advice and had decided to decamp; ships were pulling out as they watched. ‘Did we not say, no burning. Sound the advance.’ Conn ordered, and soon columns of wiga filed down the hills into the port some miles away at pace. As they rode in to put out fire they found that it had already started; Ancuman and Twacuman were busily extinguished what they could. Being thatch and time it was hard, but the extra two thousand had stopped its spread. Once the fires were under control, Conn was approached by an elderly Twacuman. He bowed to Conn, and said his name was Bonrun. He was from the ninth clan, and was delighted to finally meet the Marquis of Kerch.
