Chapter 14

The rest of the journey to Goldenlark was uneventful. Honor noted that the seasons had made a further transition from Autumn to the strange period of in between that resulted in the constant freezing and thawing of the ground; the awkward fluctuation of temperatures had made a muddy mess of the road. The scent of snow hung in the air as the sloping clouds overhead hung low with the weight of it. During this part of the year it was more likely to rain during the day then slowly turn to snow during the lower temperatures overnight. Honor was just beginning to loathe everything about the outdoors when they crested a hill and Goldenlark came into view.

“There it is. Security is likely to be tight in Goldenlark with the Makt mobilizing and the King in a panic. Eirny and I will leave you here. You will find us in the forest near the tree line should you need anything.”

Honor felt herself panic at the thought of facing Makt soldiers after what she had witnessed in Milltown. “This will not be like our stop in Meadowbrook. We have more things to accomplish here. I have to find out why Renata sent me here.”

“Yes. That does pose a small concern. We will need to arrange to meet or send a signal to one another that all is well. I do not think we will be close enough to communicate telepathically.” Harcos narrowed his eyes as though deep in thought.

Honor scanned the horizon, searching for a high point she could send a signal from. The problem with not knowing anything about a place was not being able to make any solid plans. She did not even know what they would find inside the tall city walls she observed from their vantage point. How could she hope to plan on making contact with Harcos until they knew what they were walking into? In the end, they agreed to meet the following night at midnight if they had not made contact. It gave Honor and Rowan time to accomplish tasks and see what they could learn about why she was supposed to be in Goldenlark. Harcos and Eirny disappeared into the bare trees leaving Rowan and Honor to continue down the hill toward the county seat.

“Are you okay? You have been very quiet,” Honor questioned the man she was supposed to marry.

“There has been a lot on my mind.”

“It seems unfair for you to be dragged along with this. You just lost your mother and your father went north to unknown parts. I am sure you would rather be with him than traipsing about Alderwood with me.”

Rowan sighed heavily. “You are so infuriating.” He ran a hand through his hair, gripping it firmly to give it a tug.

“I do not try to be. I am trying to be a leader. I am trying to be the person I am supposed to be in order to handle the huge responsibilities that have been thrust upon me.
