Ravenheart (2011)
“The youngster had been wooing a town girl and had gone to see her one morning. The law regarding the wearing of Rigante colors had not been enforced for more than a decade, and Killon had been wearing an old cloak to ward off the winter cold. News of his arrest reached Ironlatch only two days later. His brothers, Finbarr and Jabe, had gone into town prepared to pay whatever fine the magistrates demanded. They came back with his decapitated body.
Finbarr and Jabe had quit the farm the following ...morning and had headed west to join Call Jace.
Shorthanded now, Kaelin, Senlic Carpenter, and Bally Koin worked the high pastures, driving cattle back down into the valley. Of the six hundred head at the beginning of winter more than sixty had died in fierce blizzards and snowdrifts or been torn apart by starving wolves. It was hard, grueling work, and Kaelin wished he had time to travel to Black Mountain to hire other herders.
He had changed in the last year. Laboring on the farm had widened his shoulders and strengthened his arms, and he had grown taller by almost two inches.MoreLess
