The Shadow Collector
“Such gross defiance caused Prince Maurice to lay siege to the town and we have made our headquarters at Hilton Farm, not half a mile from the church of St Leonard on the hill overlooking the town and the river.
At the farm I share my quarters with six other officers while Prince Maurice and his servants have the best chamber. The men shift for themselves in tents and outbuildings but I fear the ground has become a mire as rain pours incessantly from the grey sky. Such weather does not bode ...well for our campaign and I fear that the men will grow restless if our victory is not swift.
As I already have knowledge of the town, I will find a way through the barricades and spy upon the townsfolk.
The prospect of a meeting with Alison tempts me greatly. But I know not if she still resides in Tradmouth … or even whether she still lives.
Lilith Benley had told them nothing the previous day. All she wanted, she’d said, was to be left in peace.MoreLess
