Dragonblade Trilogy - 03 - The Savage Curtain - Plot & Excerpts
Stephen and his men had spent all night upon the walls shoving back ladders of Scots attempting to breach the castle. Stephen had received a gash to his face when an enemy sword tip inadvertently struck him, barely missing his eye, but was otherwise unharmed. He had spent nearly all his time at the gatehouse fighting off ladders since the gatehouse was the flattest portion of land on which to brace a ladder. It was the Scots’ rally point. The Scots were apparently calling in reinforcements because the swarm around the castle was becoming heavier. It made Stephen wonder what had happened to de Lara; he hoped the man had somehow survived. The alternative distressed him tremendously but he could not dwell on it; he was in the midst of his own mortal fight. He would fight off men from one ladder, shove it away from the wall only to see that two more had been put against the old stone walls of Berwick Castle. It was becoming apparent that they would have to do something drastic or the castle would eventually be breached and his mind began to work furiously for a solution.
