Dragon's Moon
“—HORACE Eirik lifted Ciara down from Niall’s hold and carried her into the cave, leaving the care of the horses to the warrior and his seneschal mate.
Her eyes were hazy and barely open, so he did not set her on her feet lest she fall right over.
“Why have you done this to yourself?” he asked her.

“Why?”

“You cannot—”
