CHAPTER ELEVEN

Blackpool Castle

Isalyn wondered if her father realized just how eager she was to come to Blackpool.

Strangely enough, he seemed quite eager as well. When Fraser came to tell her that they would be accepting Tor’s invitation to visit immediately, she had been thrilled to hear it. She had retreated to her chamber when they had returned from Haltwhistle, fully anticipating her father to verbally lash her for running off yet again, so Fraser’s good news from her father had been unexpected.

But most welcome.

In truth, given the fight she had caused in Haltwhistle, Isalyn wondered if Tor had reconsidered his invitation in the time they’d been apart. Once he reached home and realized she was a handful of trouble. Regardless, they were accepting the invitation so the sooner they went to Blackpool, the better. Perhaps there was some way she could prove to him that she wasn’t all mayhem, all the time.

But that was essentially what he’d seen from her.

She was eager to change that perception.

Still, that fight had opened her eyes in many ways. She had never seen a fight before, at least not a fight with a real battle-experienced knight in the middle of it. Having spent most of her time in London, the atmosphere there was different than it was up north. The people there were different, and although she saw knights frequently in the street, guarding lords or moving in packs as they headed to Westminster, it wasn’t like she saw them on a regular basis and she most certainly never saw them fight on a regular basis.

But here in the north, the land was wild and the people were wild, and the knights seemed to be stronger and tougher. Fighting, and life and death, seemed to be far more of a reality here than in London. Certainly, there was a comparable share of life and death in London, but it seemed to her that it was a different type of life and death. Life in London was hard-fought and death came easily with thieves and robbers and disease. But here in the north, death seemed to have a more brutal and unexpected flavor.

There was something abrupt about it.

It was strange, really. When she realized those soldiers meant to harm her, she hadn’t been given the time to be afraid. All she could think of was getting through the situation alive. She hadn’t known what she was getting into and, fortunately, she never had to experience what could have been a deadly end result because Tor had saved her life before it could get out of hand.

When she had seen him flying into the center of the fight like an avenging angel, it had been something to witness. He had been enormous and strong and skilled, and he had used his sword as if it weighed no more than a feather. She knew for a fact that sword was very heavy, and it was almost as tall as she was, so it was a heavy weapon meant for a skilled warrior.
