Excerpt
“Deanna.” Roarke's eyes were a bright angry red. Incoherent words spilled from his mouth. “I told her to wait in the room.”
“With everything that's going on, I am certain she left the room to escape, Roarke. Roarke! Son! Listen to me!”
Roarke's head snapped toward his father. Slowly, the red subsided to burnt orange, then to silver blue.
“Go.” The Hamilton nudged his head toward the Great Hall. “She might be there with the rest of those who are readying to leave.”
They heard the collective screeches of triumph from outside the walls.
“Fall back!” The Hamilton commanded, his face grim.
Everyone swiftly escaped to the secret passageway behind the dais in the Great Hall. After everyone had passed through, two of their warriors lit the charges from the mouth of the cave. They were only a few feet away when they were thrown off by the explosion. Picking themselves up, they followed the retreating inhabitants of Hamel Dun Creag.
The Cynn Cruor made their way to the rendezvous base nearby. It had been built exactly for this purpose—the possibility of the Faesten being overrun. Through the centuries the warriors and their families, under The Hamilton's command and protection, painstakingly chipped away stone and rock to construct Hamel Dun Uiamh. With the Ancient Eald's help, along with the Cynn architects and mortals, the caverns now resembled an underground city.
The wounded were treated by the healers. The warriors who were bonded found stone rooms and other secluded areas so their spouses could help them heal.
The next day, scouts reported that the Scatha Cruor had left, leaving Hamel Dun Creag in ruins. Roarke finally found Deanna's charred body among the debris, identifying her from the dagger still clutched in her hand. He took her body from the rubble and carefully wrapped it in a shroud filled with heather and lavender. Then he walked toward the outcrop overlooking Hamel Dun Creag to give her a proper burial, a forlorn figure with the love of his life dead in his arms.
