Western Shore of the Isle of Skye, Scotland
25th of June 1544
Rory MacLeod threw the short length of gray driftwood toward the lapping
waves. Gus, his ancient wolfhound, loped after it. The whitecaps farther out
in the bay off Claigan Beach churned up low waves. The water stretched
onto the shore to grab and tumble the pebbles and shells, making them
clatter against one another as they washed back into the sea.
Rory breathed in deeply of the sea air, letting the salt tang sting his nose.
There was a hint of the smoke from the inland crop fields that were being
burned to promote better growth, but the sea breeze pushed it back. Rory
hoped the freedom in the wind would cleanse away the taint of
imprisonment and betrayal that moldered in his chest like an illness. He
preferred the outdoors now after being locked away in Carlisle dungeon for
over a year.
Gus trotted to him, the driftwood stick caught in his crooked teeth. “Cù
math,” Rory said, tugging it from the dog’s bite. He threw it, and the wind
caught the stick, hurling it into the salty froth. Gus turned, joy in his slow
trot as he ran after it. Poor old beast. He’d likely been ignored while Rory
was locked away.
He turned his face southward where his clan castle, Dunvegan, sat on a
sheltered inlet from the sea, a hill blocking sight of the hulking fortress
from the beach. How he’d longed for it and the surrounding hills, forests,
and this very strand of unique white beach.
His brother, Jamie, said Rory had sold his soul to the devil to escape,
because he’d worked with sons of their enemies on Skye. Rory rubbed a
thumb across his palm where four knife scars sat in red lines, healed but not
yet faded. “But I didn’t sell my soul to England,” he said, the words caught
by the wind. If Jamie had traded places with their father instead of Rory,
Jamie wouldn’t have survived. It had taken the four Highland warriors,
working together, to escape back to their homes on the Isle of Skye, each of
them using their special skills and the anonymous gifts sent in blankets. The
mystery of their benefactor had yet to be solved.
