Tierney's father had already delivered the crushing news that her love Riccus had been killed in battle. It was only a few days later that he told her to seal the peace, she was being given in marriage to the brother of the lowlander King. She wanted to beg her father to find a highland man to give her to, but she knew from his face that he didn't want to hand her over to this man.
A small band of warriors and her father took her on what seemed like a funeral procession to her wedding. They rode and camped for several days and when the cold, grey stong castle was looming on the horizon, her father's men stood with swords drawn with their backs to her as she bathed and dressed herself. She wove her sunkissed dark hair into a long braid that hung down her back. She slipped into a heavy emerald green brocade gown. It clung to her body and then flared at her hips.
Her father's personal guard helped her onto her horse and they rode into the bustling castle. The townsfolk were gathered to see the prince's new bride. Tierney did her best to smile sweetly but she felt an ominous sense of doom.
