Chapter 57

"Your son-in-law."

That day Callm had stood on the castle doorstep and cut what throats remained of Morven's murderers, he had been unrecognizable. So plainly, for Ewen McDunnagh to be here, Kara had to have spilled everything.

"Really? How's d'at? Well? What else am I meant to say? The great chieftain of Lochalpin, Ewen McDunnagh himself, here in my humble castle."

Not like her father? In that second Kara became his double. So much so, Callmexamined a well-thumbed book. It was reason to keep his mouth shut.

"Hell, no." Sort of reason anyway. "Do you want me cutting your head off for the cheek of it, old man? No. I'm Callm."
