Angel of Skye
“—William Dunbar “To the King”
It had been a full week since the incident at the bluffs. A difficult week during which so many questions had not found answers. From what Alec could ascertain, Iain, the slain MacLeod warrior, had been seen with the outlaws. It appeared he had supplied the attackers with horses and swords. But with all of them now dead, the motives behind Iain’s actions were baffling. There was still the matter of the gold found in each man’s possession. More gold than Iain ...could ever have paid them.
And Neil was gone, as well. Fearing reprisal from others of the MacLeod clan, Neil told Alec he was going to the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides and left immediately. He had done his job in finding the traitor, as Alec had earlier directed him to do. But with his maimed arm, Neil felt that he would be an easy target for revenge.
Perhaps most puzzling, though, had been Father Jack’s appearance at Dunvegan the same evening that Fiona was attacked.MoreLess
