The Thrall (The Viking Hero Series Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
The events just hours ago had left everyone sleeping with one eye opened and their ears perked for even the slightest sound. Nobody was granted a restful sleep. Rowan couldn't find it within himself to sleep lying on his back for fear of the thing coming back and trying to seat itself on his chest again. Perhaps this time it would be successful and end him before he'd be able to wake up in time. This time he slept, or rather attempted to sleep on his side to prevent anything from resting on his chest. When the light shined through the doorway and announced daybreak had come, Rowan was relieved. He was tired, but glad to have made it through the rest of the night. He knew he'd better not dawdle in his daily tasks, so he got up and went to the byre area to milk the cows. Being mindful not to disturb anyone, he fetched the milking bucket and noticed that the goat was on the other end of the house standing on the anvil looking back at him. Obliviously, Grumpy didn't get any sleep as well and had kept a vigilance throughout the rest of the night perched up on the anvil stone.
