SOUL OF SKULLS – a third excerpt

Here’s a third excerpt from SOUL OF SKULLS. This one is from the point of view of Sir Hugh Chalsain, one of the new characters introduced in the book.

Kynoth’s bailiff was an elderly man named Corman, and he shared the same sense of injured self-importance as his lord Alberon.

“It is not surprising that those heathen devils should attack Kynoth,” declared Corman, leaning hard upon his cane. “We are the most prominent of Lord Stormsea’s estates. Why, the Prince of Barellion himself dines upon fish caught by Kynoth’s fishermen.”

“Indeed,” said Hugh, who had never once seen the Prince eat fish.
