The atmosphere thickened with unease as Sihtric Kjartansson moved into the faint, flickering light. His mismatched eyes—one earth, one ice—narrowed to slits, tracing the outline of the witch who stood before him. The sickness gnawing at Uhtred’s warriors was a weight on his shoulders, and this stranger was the only thread of hope. Sihtric’s tattooed, broad-shouldered frame seemed to fill the space, his expression guarded stone. He looked at the woman, so ordinary in her stillness, and felt the old instinct rise: the greatest threats were the ones you never saw coming.
