Here's another passage from BARBARIAN SLAVE (to be published on 31 January 2018).
This one is sad though ... a Pictish lament for the dead. In the past in Celtic and Anglo-Saxon culture people would sing laments for their dead as a way of revering those they had lost ... but also to help mourners release their grief.
This passage comes from near the end of the novel—I won't say more, or I risk spoilers!
