Summary
Just as the dreaded and terrible High lord of the Dunlendings, his General and their hostage, Hamà, second son of Helm Hammerhand, ride to the door of Hornburg, the Rohan King dies of his wounds. Just as Wulf raises his knife to execute the boy, someone else stops him.
It is not pity that stayed Targg’s hand. It is not pity either that makes him take the boy in. But even he can recognize the madness rotting slowly behind his Lord’s eyes; even he knows that washing blood with blood only breeds red.
