The Mark of Salvation
“—from the Rule of the Templar Knights Are you sure we can cross here?” Marcus asked his foster brother. He stared at the fast-moving creek that flowed along the edge of the stone castle.

“Then the water will feel good.”
“Until the current knocks us down and carries us to our deaths.”
