Timeless Voyage by Cornelia Amiri
Chapter One
––––––––
Off the coast of Ireland, 67 AD
Biting down on the dagger in her mouth, ignoring the bitter, metallic taste, Anwen glared at the swan prow of the Roman ship her crew rowed toward.
Delbaeth clutched a rowan firebrand at her side, veiling them in a cloud of dark, misty smoke, clogging her throat and stinging her eyes.
Blinking, Anwen dug her fingers into a soft leather pouch hanging from her belt, pinched a smooth lead pellet, and loaded the leather sling. Her men stroked their paddles through the briny water until the curragh bumped the side of the merchant ship. A shudder shot through her as icy water splashed her feet.
Delbaeth thrust the rowan torch into the Erinn Sea.
Anwen drew in a deep breath, sighted a Roman, and took aim, twirling the leather sling over her head in a lingering cloud of misty smoke. The iron pellet embedded in the sailor's forehead, sending him backwards as he fell to his death.
Good shot, Captain.
Delbaeth threw his dagger at another Roman. It struck the screaming man just below his neck.
Anwen’s heart lurched in her chest as she clambered onto the deck. A burly, bearded man rushed toward her. Grabbing the dagger from her mouth, she jabbed the blade into his belly and twisted it as he clutched her shoulders. He fell to the deck. The stench of blood mingled with the salty scent of sea mist. She let out a rush of air and leapt over his scarlet-stained corpse.
Her neck grew hot from someone gazing hard at her, she wheeled around. Anwen spotted a shadowy figure and rushed toward him. With a flick of her wrist, she pressed her dagger against the man’s throat.
The full moon glowed on her catch. His hair shone like spun sunlight streaming aside a stone-smooth face adorned with striking blue-green eyes. Lugh, the sun god?
The man gestured for her to release the blade so he could speak.
Curious as to what he had to say, she slid the sharp dagger to his chest.
He gazed straight into her eyes. Assassin, I ask your name before you send me to the Elysian Fields.
She clutched the dagger tighter. I am Anwen, a druid novice of Ynys Mon.
His full lips parted and he let out a sharp laugh. The old governor slew the druids of Ynys Mon. They are all dead.
I survived.
She tilted her chin high.
Good fortune then.
He flashed a row of white teeth as he grinned. And now you hold a cargo of wine and fish sauce.
The Roman’s smile vanished and his eyes grew wide and moist. Take it all. Just leave me my ship and crew. They are worth nothing to you.
I think not.
She took a deep breath. Your voyage ends here.
Clutching the blade hard, she flicked her wrist to stab him but her arm hung heavy. Startled and shocked, she swallowed. Jerking her head toward her crew, she yelled, Breccan, Casnar, Torna, tie up the prisoner.
What say you?
Starn the Stout balked at her order.
Her captive’s extraordinary eyes, fathomless as the sea, drew her to him. How could a Roman be so handsome?
Thoughts swam in her head. I do not know him. Even if I did, he’s a Roman. I have to hate him.
Laig the Dark headed scowled. We leave no survivors, save for the Roman slaves we set free.
Wheeling toward Casnar the Valiant, she shouted, I am in command here. Keep this one. He’s my hostage.
Her voice vibrated with anger for the weakness she displayed. She’d killed Romans before, many times. Why couldn’t she slay him?
How can we collect a ransom without bringing attention to ourselves?
Delbaeth asked. Captain, you swore this would be our last raid.
The sound of bees swarmed in her brain, buzzing. Her gaze clung to the Roman’s eyes. She felt like rising steam, light, floating high in the air.
Turning away from him, she met the accusing and bewildered stares of her crew. I meant slave, not hostage. Is he not a rare, precious booty, worthy of our last raid?
She turned away, ashamed of her contrived excuse.
We free slaves.
Fingen folded his arms across his barrel chest.
Anwen shook her head. "We free those enslaved to Rome
