Rothgar followed Sig downstairs. He hated to leave Odaria when they were both so aroused, but it could not be helped. His duty came first. “What is it?”

Sig entered the main room. “See for yourself.”

A leather belt and a gold earring lay on the table. Rothgar picked up the belt and examined it. The circular spirals tooled into the leather told him that it belonged to a Nordmann, but was it Orvind’s? He turned to Sig. “Where did you find it?”

“In a field of grass on the far side of the isle.”

He frowned and glanced at the three other men with Sig. Nils, Erik, and Leif were young and devoutly loyal to Karnik. He wasn’t very fond of them.

Sig cleared his throat, then continued. “There was something else. There’s a—”

Sig’s words froze on his lips, and he took a step back. The men with him moved to the fireplace, their eyes open wide.

“What in the name of Thor is wrong with you?” He looked where they were staring. Odaria stood on the staircase, watching them.

“You’d be wise to rid yourself of the witch, Rothgar. She’s put a hex on the village,” Erik muttered.

He glared at Erik. “Is that what you were told? Who is spreading these lies?”

“It’s not a lie,” Nils said. “Haraldur told me what happened in the village while we were searching for Orvind. There was a powerful storm here, but not a drop of rain fell where we were. That girl is dangerous. She’ll get us all killed.”

Odaria came down the stairs and stood at his side. “What’s happening? What are they saying? ’Tis about me, isn’t it?”

The men backed away, casting her wary glances.

“Who do you think raised the storm that wrecked Orvind’s ship?” Leif asked. “It was that one.” He pointed at Odaria. “And she’s conjured us here to—”

“Shut your mouth. That’s enough.” He looked at Odaria. “These grown men are afraid of you because of what you did at the church.” He gestured at the table. “Sig brought these objects back from the other side of the isle. Touch them, and tell me what you see.”

Odaria shook her head. “I’m not certain that I can. I’m drained from before.”

He looked at Sig and the other men. He was losing what little control he had over them. Karnik’s men were afraid of Odaria and didn’t like her hovering around him. Their relationship was going to cause problems for everyone. But was Leif right? Had one of Odaria’s storms capsized Orvind’s ship? It seemed possible.

“I have done favors for you today. Now try and do as I ask, little witch.”

She nodded. “Aye.”

He watched as Odaria closed her eyes and shook her left hand a few times. A moment later, she trailed her fingers across the belt, then flinched and pulled back.

“You saw something …”

“Nay.” She shook her head. “I told you, I’m tired and—”

“What have you seen? Tell me.”

“Nothing. It was dark. Cold.” She shivered. “It looked like a gra—” She stopped and bit her bottom lip.
