“She had been a part of his life for as long as he could recall. Where she came from he didn’t know, merely that she was there, one day, at the mill, all wet and slimy with weeds. Young, then; younger than now. Younger than he was, now. His father had brought her home, once he’d pulled her out of the millpond. Images, no more. Fleeting recollections. A soaked, soggy girl undeterred by her state, speaking compellingly of the nixies who lived in the water. Dimly, Much recalled, his mother had mutt...ered a prayer against bewitched children, but not against him this time. This time, against her. It bonded them in that moment, though she could not see it; what he saw, between them, he did not recognize. Much remembered her well. Marian, she’d said. And his father knew who she was. His father had sent his brother off to find her father. Now she stood beside him, one proprietary hand upon his bony shoulder even as a soldier held his arms, while a bearded, red-haired giant and the Sheriff of Nottingham made a pact between them.MoreLessRead More Read Less
