Three of the Queen's Trusted Eight

Three of Queen Nikoletta's bodyguards, surfacing in the grotto beneath Kassandra's house in North Hampton. They're going to do a thorough exploration of the house before the Queen of the Seaborn arrives--sort of like a Secret Service pre-visit detail. Every one of the Seaborn kings or queens appoint their own Trusted Eight--oktoloi, to guard their lives. This scene would have been nice in Sea Throne, but would have taken place after the last chapter--so, here's the visual instead. SaltwaterWitch.com
