Midsummer Magic

by Kristi Ahlers

Cumbria, England, 1557

The full moon glowed an incandescent blue in the night sky. The second full moon that month. Meredith fondly remembered her mother telling of the magic that was about on such a night. It was good luck to wish on such a moon.

And if Meredith ever needed the magic of a Blue Moon it was now.

Closing her eyes, she made a wish on the Blue Moon, a wish of finding a love that would defy all, one to fill her heart. In her mind’s eye she pictured a dark knight on a handsome steed. A man who would risk all to love her and keep her safe.

She wanted a child’s fairy tale, her logical side chided.

An odd emptiness filled his heart as his eyes moved heavenward to the blue moon.

With a sense of whimsy he long forgot he possessed, he wished for a small miracle. He wished to find a lass who would set his heart on fire, one that would wait for his return. A lass with the power to heal his body as well as his spirit after battle.

He wanted someone to share his life, his dreams.

Kieran and his men planned to cross the border as soon as they watered their new cattle. Since Kieran was familiar with the landscape, he knew of a hidden glen with a quiet pond not far from Langdon’s holding.

With a smile on his face he set spur to his horse and raced across the moorland, outpacing his men. He raced on, passing his brother while tossing out a challenge that he would reach the water first.
