The Knight Marshal (The Silk & Steel Saga) - Plot & Excerpts
Twisting beneath the wool blanket, she found no answers and she found no peace. Her glance speared the lead-paned window but it remained stubbornly dark, proof it was too early to rise. A fist pounded on her door. Startled, she reached for her sword, steel slithering from leather. The pounding continued, hard and incessant. “Coming!” Kath cracked the door and cast a wary glance into the hallway. Blaine grinned back at her. Clad in chainmail beneath his surcoat, his great sword rearing over his shoulder, he looked ready for battle. “I’ve heard rumors of another a nest.” His words made no sense. “A nest?” “A nest of acolytes and priests, they’re infesting the palace.” Kath rubbed the last remnants of sleep from her eyes. “And we need to do this now?” His grin widened. “Catch the bastards while their sleeping.” She might as well fight priests as wrestle blankets. “One moment.” Ducking back into her chamber, Kath hastily finished dressing. Swirling her maroon cloak around her shoulders, she strapped on her throwing axes, belted her sword to her waist and made sure the crystal dagger was secure in its sheath.
