Extract

The musket ball whistled past Merriweather’s left ear. She stifled a cry and threw herself to the ground, heart pounding.
A moment’s pause, then a man’s voice echoed back from the gatehouse battlements. ‘What the blazes?’ followed by grunts and curses from his comrades and the heavy clump of approaching boots.

Merriweather snatched a breath and shrank back into her hiding place against the turret wall as the shadow of a man loomed across the roof tiles in front of her.
