A Year And a Day
“She knew that it was foolish and irrational to hope that Ewan might return so soon, but she couldn’t stifle a flicker of hope that she might be wrong. At the very least, if it wasn’t her husband, he might send word.
Word traveled to the village, but very slowly. Cait supposed that this was a good thing. If anything happened to the Laird or, God forbid, to Ewan, she knew that it would reach her quickly. The last bit of news had arrived in a matter of days.
Ewan was the tanist.

In addition to the claim of his birth as the Laird’s nephew, he had the claim of might. He was a natural leader and an experienced warrior that the people could rally behind- but she didn’t know where that left her. Cait was, frankly, no one’s idea of a Laird’s wife!
She knew a little bit about running a castle.MoreLess
