Magnus jerked away from the broom attempting to break his ribs.

‘You’ll not earn yourself any supper if you lay about all day!’ the farmer’s wife grumbled, red nose dripping. She didn’t appear to notice, though, as she kept prodding.

Magnus was quickly on his feet, panting, dreams of his mother and Ullaberg gone in a heartbeat.

‘Must be your bed’s too comfortable if you think you can sleep all day! I’ll have to find somewhere else to keep you.’ She sniffed, threatening Magnus with the end of her broom again. ‘Get yourself over there and milk those goats. Can’t you hear the bleating? They’d wake Vasa herself with all that noise!’

Magnus slipped in the sodden straw, trying to avoid another poke, heading for the two old goats banging around their tiny stall. They looked ratty, half-starved, and Magnus wondered how they had any milk in them. But, if he could get rid of the farmer’s wife, perhaps he could take a sip of the milk himself? The morning was ice-tipped, and he shook as he opened the stall door, stomach growling impatiently, trying to ignore the smell. It had been a day since he’d last eaten, and according to the grumbling woman, he would have to wait until supper to eat again.

Magnus thought of his sister, who would surely be having a worse time with those horrible men, and he straightened his aching shoulders, deciding that he just needed to keep going; close his mouth, put his head down, and survive.

Somehow, he would find a way to escape.

A way out of here to find Lotta.

‘What are you standing there for?’ the farmer’s wife snapped. ‘Move!’
