Lordofthehunt
“An old man, Ivo, one of his father’s clerks, hurried by, looking straight through him. The man’s lack of greeting reminded Adam he was a stranger in his father’s castle. Euphoria warred with a deep sadness. He needed anonymity to accomplish his mission for William Marshal, but once, he’d been an honored heir here.
He looked up at the tall towers touched with a patina of age and knew it was not because of the stone edifice that he must have Ravenswood.
Nay, it was what the towers represented. Th...e first lord of Ravenswood had not built this fortress to have it fall into the hands of any but his own kin.
His father’s banishment must be lifted. The de Marle name, as venerable as these walls, must be restored.
Adam knew his first action as lord of Ravenswood Castle would be to take his grandfather’s sword down from the wall. He would clean it and hone it. And wear it.
It was for the de Marle honor he labored. A rueful smile overspread his face. To regain his honor he must leave it behind and skulk about like a common thief.MoreLess
