Sword of Wrath (Kormak book Eight)
“The mid-morning sun gleamed down on the docks. Gulls cawed. Fishwives bellowed the virtues of their wares. Ship’s chandlers drove small herds of pigs and goats along. Barrels of salted fish and beef added to the tang in the air. A company of soldiers assembled on the wharf. Near them stood groups of wealthy-looking men and women, flanked by bodyguards.
As they strode towards the long wooden pier, Kormak recognised one of the people waiting: Elias Zamara, who had captained the Ocean’s Blade when Kormak had sought the Kraken. Elaborate court clothing wrapped his tall, rangy body, and a large tricorne hat perched atop his handsome blonde head. He seemed to be the centre of the crowd.
Approaching the group Kormak was aware that all eyes were upon him. The nobles practically stared. Zamara grinned a welcome.
Kormak looked at him. “This is a pleasant surprise.”
Zamara performed a sweeping bow, removing his hat with a flourish.
