Keeper of the Light
““Did you see them?” cried Rioghan, as Luath followed the others.
“I did!” he called over his shoulder. “Two groups of riders—one on the road, one on the forest path!” And he disappeared around the back of the mound, leaving Rioghan alone with her dogs at the entrance to her home.
Two groups. Two groups of riders! Beolagh must mean to surround them this time, to distract and confuse and overwhelm them. Rioghan pulled her crystal wand from its case at her wrist and stood in the fading light to aw...ait the enemy. She tried to focus on the battle to come, but foremost in her thoughts was Donaill—Donaill and her rising anger toward him.
She had asked him for his protection, not just for herself but for the Sidhe and their stone circle. Asked him for protection from his own people, and he had promised to give it to her. Yet while the threat was at its greatest—just three nights after the two of them had publicly humiliated the man who was her enemy—Donaill had ridden away to do nothing more important than prove his status to another king’s champion, leaving her and the Sidhe alone to face the threat that his own people brought them.MoreLess
