The Siege Master’s Song
When justice is denied, vengeance will do.
“I am Baron Godric MacEuan. As sheriff-at-large for Scotland, I rode the entire kingdom for King Malcolm Canmore, dealing with the worst of men to protect the innocent and enforce the king’s law.
“Now, I am young, and often underestimated because of it. But that is a serious mistake, for I have a talent for destruction. And not even your castle can save you, for I destroy castles, too.
“Yet when good King Malcolm was treacherously slain, I could not save him, nor bring his killer to trial … because his murderer was King William Rufus of England.
“Punish a king? You cannot. But you can take vengeance.
“So King Rufus rules England, and thinks himself safe to act as he likes because he wears its crown. But no man is truly safe from another set upon vengeance. Even a king.
“Especially from a man with my skills.”
