Prediction: Tulia will probably take Dorothy’s place as head cook person.

Oh, William and Dorothy, the grandparent characters, were killed by the slavers. But then the few slavers who were left took Kalry.

Prediction: The rest of the book will be about Aedan going all over everywhere trying to save Kalry – like the silver dwarf and the water maiden story.Īedan saves everyone with his cleverness. Kalry’s hair does get cut by the slavers, and Aedan’s trying to come up with a plan to save everyone. The screams were caused by the slavers kidnapping people at the manor. Important things: Quin was evil all along. Besides that prologue section from the squirrel’s POV, this is the first time we haven’t been in Aedan’s POV. There’s some deal about a family scroll that Dresbourn and Lieutenant Quin were looking at that rouses his suspicions to something – pretty sure that’s what it is.įirst paragraph section from Nulty’s point of view. Prediction: Dresbourn is working for the slavers. Aedan starts heading home too with Emroy who lives in the same direction. Nulty tries to talk sense into Dresbourn but he’s completely ignored. Aedan has a meltdown after getting yelled at. Dresbourn is really unnaturally angry at Aedan for going out and telling the town that slavers were going to ambush the manor. They ride back to the manor, and everything seems fine. Aedan takes a crossbow and a vial from the apothecary there.

I’m going to call it the house of plot convenience. He’s a somewhat eccentric man with tons of random in his house. Someone just referred to Aedan as Clauman’s son – that’s all. Haven’t seen anything more than a man doing his job from him. I guess because he actually lets his daughter hang out with Aedan. Predictions: Dresbourn will probably get killed. Question: Where are Aedan’s parents during all of this? There’s a really long description of how much trouble Aedan has with staying on his horse. Aedan and Kalry decide to ride to town on horses to warn the town and bring people to the manor before everyone gets kidnapped. He cares more about rank than I thought he did. They try to tell Kalry’s father, but he doesn’t believe them. Portly.Īedan and Kalry thinks Lieutenant Quin isn’t who he says he is.
