Excerpt—
Gerwal’s mind turned to the years he’d spent building this territory. Days patrolling the fields around the manorhouse, and the forests and valleys as their holding grew. It was amazing he had so many children given how often he was out on the trails, days on end of short battles to head off the encroachment of other settlers, long negotiations to bring neighbours into the fold, attempts at trading with those more distant.
By the time Angel was born, the territory had tripled in size and he spent weeks at a time away from the manorhouse out on patrol. She would write letters and send the missives with her brothers to be delivered to him in camp at night. Dear Daddy, they would read, and for Daddy only. As if anyone else wanted to read those squiggly little notes. He snorted at the idea and repressed a grin, even as moisture gathered in his eyes.
Sometimes she would talk about needing him at the manorhouse. Daddy, it’s from your daughter Angel. Come home soon and fast. We all miss you.
Many were about her concern for him. Daddy, from your daughter Angel. Close the door and come home. Don’t work too hard while you are away. See you when you get here. There would be kisses attached at the end of each letter. How could she love him so much when he’d been such an indifferent father?
He rested his head on his knees as a shudder rippled through his body. He wouldn’t give up, he refused to give up. As long as he had breath in his body, he would fight for what was his.
