IT WAS BEYOND foolish of her to have called out Hall’s name. Brie berated herself for having given Hamish the momentary upper hand by acknowledging her recognition. But seeing Hall here, full of life and obviously recovered, had taken her by surprise.

“Is this man the master from whom you escaped?” Hamish hissed the question into her ear as he forced her in front of him like a living shield. “Hold where you are, stranger! If it’s yer property yer after, I’m willing to strike a bargain.”

“My property?” Hall’s voice sounded strained as if he strangled on the question. “She is no man’s property. Take your hands from her and move away while you still can.”

Hamish tightened his hold and the cold metal of his knife pressed against Brie’s throat. This wasn’t playing out at all as she would have chosen.

“I ken who you are now,” Hamish called out. “I remember you, O’Donar. I remember how you ran away the day of the great fire. Ran away with that brother of yers to save yer own cowardly lives. I remained to battle the inferno, and our laird rewarded me well for it. I’m an officer in Tordenet’s guard while yer still naught but a penniless mercenary. Hunting some other man’s woman for him, are you?”

Hall shook his head, an almost imperceptible movement, his eyes sharp and emotionless, like those of a hawk homed in on his prey. “It was never my life I feared for, soldier. Release the woman. I give no more warnings.”

“You think I fear yer sword? With this one as my collateral?” Hamish laughed, the cold sound sending shivers down Brie’s back. “Perhaps you canna see from up upon yer great horse what fate can so easily, so quickly befall the woman.”

With a hand wrapped in her hair, Hamish jerked Brie’s head back, stretching her neck and forcing her eyes up to the gray, overcast sky. The blade at her throat moved in a delicate arc of motion, leaving in its wake a necklace of burning pain. Not deep enough to do real damage, but inflicting a sting sharp enough to elicit an unconscious gasp.

Across the campsite, Hall lifted his sword toward the heavens and threw back his head, roaring his fury in a deafening cry that reverberated in Brie’s ears.

Thunder rumbled overhead, and the ground shifted and buckled as if it trembled before the fury of some angry god’s wrath. Lightning crackled across the sky in a pattern such as Brie had never seen.

Once, twice, the lightning flashed from one side of the sky across to the other before one large, jagged bolt arced down like a massive, fiery spear toward the very spot where she and the man who held her stood.

The air around her crackled and the hair on her body stood on end. Next to her, Hamish screamed and released his hold on her. Freed from his hands, Brie flung herself away from him to land flat on her face, her arms covering her head.
