Alana lifted the reins and halted the mule. “We are home,” she said.
    It was but a few hours later. She had halted the wagon inside Brodie’s narrow courtyard, its red stone walls rising around them. They seemed lower than they had been. She did not see any watch atop them. And she did not recall the courtyard being so small, or so oddly barren. But she could not help comparing Brodie to Nairn, which was huge in comparison. Its bailey never seemed quiet—it was always a hive of activity, with
...soldiers, women and children coming and going.
    Her heart lurched with dread and she closed her eyes, but all she saw was Iain’s hard face, his flashing eyes, and his men piling up wood against the castle’s walls, as Nairn’s residents and its farmers and villagers left the countryside in an exodus.
    How could he be indifferent to the suffering he was causing the innocent?
    He had rescued Mistress MacDuff and her two children from Boath Manor as it burned!
