In Camelot’s Shadow: Book One Of The Paths To Camelot Series (Prologue Fantasy) - Plot & Excerpts
With him at her heels, she was not permitted to turn aside to take any sort of leave of her hostess nor to reclaim her possessions. Bow, jewelry, clothes, all were to be left behind. Even Thetis, steady loyal Thetis, who had made her way straight back to the hall’s stable after she fled in the fire, was to be left behind. Two brown horses, one with white fetlocks, one with a forehead blaze, stood before the hall in their harness. Father did not even speak to the boys who held the reins. He just swung himself up into the saddle and looked down at Risa, waiting for her to do the same. Perhaps he was waiting for her to demure, to threaten, to beg. She did none of these. She allowed the nearest boy to help her onto the second horse and met her father’s gaze. Relief was written plainly on his features. But it was equally plain he did not trust her any further. He reached over and twitched the reins out of her hands. “I will not run,” she said stonily. Father did not answer. With a quick dig of his heels, he urged his horse to motion, leading her mount down the gentle slope, out through the gates and across the devastation that had been the fields of Pen Marhas.
