Thief's War: A Knight And Rogue Novel - Plot & Excerpts
Riding out toward the north, on the Hillboro Road, we reached Roseman’s country house in just seven hours. The guards, four of them, kept my hands bound till we left the city. Once we were out on the country roads—and they were certain there’d been time to stitch Fisk’s collar into place—they turned the reins over to me. The Green Moon was riding high and nearly full, the half-full Creature Moon setting. In this flat open land, ’twas light enough I could have kicked my horse to a gallop and fled. I might even have eluded their pursuit. But without me as a hostage, they’d kill Fisk. Riding on a sound horse, with my captors not even paying much attention, I was as tightly bound as I’d ever been in my life. Though I was so furious with Fisk for warning Jack Bannister, that I was almost… No, I wasn’t tempted to consider fleeing. But of all the lame-brained, idiotic, futile… And he claimed I was too trusting! If it did nothing else, my fuming passed the time. ’Twas after midnight when we passed through the gates, set in a tall stone wall, and rode up the long drive.
