Summary
In the summer of ’69, a flash flood delivers Dottie, a restless young student of botany and her friends into the hands of an isolated Appalachian flock, ruled by scripture and tradition. Among them waits Solomon, the healer, who sees in Dottie as a sign. A lamb sent by Providence. And once he lays claim, no prayer, plea, or protest will part what he believes God has joined.

You shall submit, as it is commanded," he growled near her ear, his breath hot and close. "You fight, but it is written. A woman shall obey her husband in all things."
"You aren't my husband" she gasped, twisting violently, her hands clawing at his shoulders.
His fingers dug deeper into her side, forcing her still. "Yet" he hissed, his mouth so close to her temple she could feel the word burn into her skin.

Summary
"My lord," the priest said. "Are you all right?"
"I — I'm fine," he said. Aleksander had asked this of him and he could not — he would not disappoint.
His heart beat steadily, the ring on his finger hot from the water. It was Aleksander's ring, he remembered with a jolt. Had — where had he gotten it? Had Aleksander slid it onto Eika’s finger by his own hand, rough with sword callouses and warm with blood? He couldn't remember.
Eika's beloved half-brother, Prince Aleksander, ascends to the throne, claiming all rights and responsibilities that come with it.

Summary
John MacTavish, 19 year old university student, finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time as Simon "Ghost" Riley, a 40 year old top-class hitman, is completing a job.
The sound of the body hitting the ground is like a gunshot with the way the kid tries to take off running. But Ghost is already moving before it drops. The kid is fast, but Ghost is faster and he's grabbing him before he can get more than a few steps away. He grips the writhing teen to his chest, hauling him easily back into the alley as the kid claws desperately at the large arm crushing across his chest.
