“He caught her hand to stop her patting. “Did you hear anything I said? What will your father and mother think, Faile? A half-wolf blacksmith. You’re a lady! Light!” “I heard every word.

I know he thinks I am terribly soft.” She gave him a smile fierce enough for any wolf. “Of course, mother always wanted me to marry a king who splits Trollocs in two with one stroke of his sword.

In truth, the splitting of Trollocs will probably do for mother, but I truly think she would like the other.””
