“Carlo said quietly, “I am reluctant to leave our safety in the hands of two children, when grown men are helpless.

Your father would not harm you, my young Carolin, but I fear the rest of us would die, and not too quickly or easily.”Caryl was blinking hard. He said, “I do not want any harm to come to you, sir.

But I will try to remember that the blessed Valentine-of-the-Snows had a pact of friendship with them and called them little brothers.”I do not think I truly wish to be brother to the banshee, Romilly thought, urging her horse forward with a little cluck and the pressure of her knee, trying to throw out soothing thoughts to calm the animal’s fear.MoreLess
