Chapter Fifteen

“TROUBLE BREWS,” LIAM growled the moment they left King’s End behind. “We are under attack!”

When horses met them in the forest, Liam kept Shannon on his. Gave her no choice. Normally, she would fight him, but she understood his need. His inherent fear after what just happened in the cave. How close they had come to death, if only in a vision or memory, as it were. One that had eerily aligned with the wall of water she'd dreamt of before traveling back in time.

Racing back through the forest toward the castle almost felt surreal. As if she were half there, half someplace else. Caught in between times. Straddling a reality she barely remembered yet came back to her bit by bit as though she were waking from a dream.

Seeing mayhem unleashing on the shore to the south of Liam’s castle made her come to her senses. Made her feel his fury as he spurred his horse, and they flew that way.

“They came by ship,” she said into his mind, stating the obvious. “But how without someone seeing them coming?”

“Because Siobhán used one of her damn portals,” Riona said, joining the conversation. “Something only Madison knows how to close.”

“And why didn’t we ask her to teach us how to as well?” Shannon wondered.

“Because it wasn’t at the top of our priorities at the....”

Riona's voice trailed off as it became clear they wouldn’t have to worry about the particular ship that had come ashore. The men who had been bracing to attack were already being bombarded from both land and sea.

And not by Liam's warriors, who were rushing that way as well.

“Hell,” Liam exclaimed. The five of them raced toward what swiftly became a retreat and, very likely, a slaughter from too many animals to count. “I’ve never seen anything like this.”

Liam stopped his horse, swung down, and looked at Shannon with a mixture of warning and concern. “Remain on Kane. Go no further.” He shook his head. “Not until you know how to fight.”

Before she had a chance to respond, he withdrew his sword and raced after the retreating enemy, flanked by animals. So many animals. All coming to the aid of the Kingdom of Meath.

Coming to the aid of not just Shannon but Liam.

Nonetheless, once again terrified for his life, she swung down and raced after him, but a warrior cut her off first. She meant to drive her blade into him, but a fox tripped him before she could. Then birds fluttered at her before she could get any closer.

“They don’t want you to harm anyone, sis,” Riona said into her mind. “You might be a Druid warrioress, but they’re protecting you from that.”

“I don’t understand.” She swung her dagger-turned-sword at another warrior, knowing precisely how to use it. Ready to fight. But animals attacked him before she got a chance. “Why can’t I do what you and Madison did? What’s wrong with me?”

“Nothing’s wrong with you.” Riona cut down a man easily enough. “I think they’re trying to protect you from something that has to do with death.
