Gathering Storm

By Jerry Fedora

Through death, a hero becomes a legend. – Joseph Campbell
Gavin Ross, Duke of Craignish and Striven, finds his life ever more complicated. Danger is at every hand, and the castle holds still more mysteries. Athena and Minerva have narrowly escaped a fate worse than death in Rome, but they don’t let that slow them down. Gavin and the women are on the hunt for two boys to become acolytes when the girls’ year is finished. They find them, but they also find something, or rather someone, none of them were looking for—could Gavin find happiness?
Gavin still has a target on his back, and his household is in danger, as is the village. Will his foe finally make his move? If he does, Gavin may be reminded that victory always comes at a cost, and that pain is not always physical.
