'Bilbo once told me his part in this tale would end, that each of us must come and go in the telling...' Like all of us, the recent passing of Sir Ian Holm struck me deeply, and I felt the need to acknowledge that in my own way, with a gentle nod to his portrayal of our dear Uncle Bilbo. A short one-shot taking place within my 'Lament for the Rohirrim' series, wherein we glimpse a few moments that just didn't quite make it into the main story and witness how the adventures of a Hobbit of the Shire touch the life of a girl from Rohan, if only briefly. For it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and love. Farewell, dear Bilbo, dear Ian.

I want to be a famous warrior like her. But I want to know if my name will be remembered?" The Seer was silent as he nodded his head. "You have honored your people with your success in Wessex. The gods smile upon you. However, you will come face to face with a missing part of your past. Your soul will face anger but also acceptance." There was a moment of silence between us. * * * * "The gods will always smile on brave women, like the Valkyries whose furies men fear and desire." - Seer Siggy is the daughter of Björn Ironside (the son of King Ragnar Lothbrok and the shield maiden Lagertha) and Porunn, a former slave.

'Where now the horse and the rider?' Prequel to 'Rain on the Mountain'. Before the storm clouds of war gathered. Before the growing shadow in the East took form. Before the Riddermark knew the choking hold of a wizard's malice. Before the illegitimate daughter of a King set her feet to the path before her.

Whilst the roles of those around her are clearly defined, history and tradition have written no place for a bastard in the Golden Hall.

"Trust the Lord, and He will give ye power to overcome. In the meantime, I'll train ye for war." All 13-year-old Alynn McNeil wants is a home. A home like she had in Limerick, before her mother was kidnapped. But life--and an angry landlord--have different ideas, and now she's leaving her lifelong home of Ireland for a tiny port town in Scotland. Or so she thinks. After a storm at sea leaves her with nothing but a piece of driftwood and a broken heart, Alynn finds herself drifting towards an island. This island looks peaceful, but in reality, it's a war-torn battleground. Alynn quickly meets both sides-a bloodthirsty tribe of Barbarians and Lukas McCamden, a monk who's lived alone since the rest of his monastery's inhabitants were massacred by them. Lukas rescues Alynn, but not before they're spotted. Now, an invasion is clearly imminent. With winter quickly setting in, Alynn is trained in self-defense. She finds her love for the monastery growing more and more, and she's ready to call it her home. And she's ready to defend it with her life. *The cover was not developed by the author, who does not claim copyright of it in any way, shape, or form.
