Pressida grimaced and unhooked a small barrel secured to her saddle. Her Andican mare gave the barrel a derisive snort. Pressida had tied her on the other side of the log, well out of Keraengle’s kicking range.
“That is what I love about knighthood.” Pressida pulled a knife out, pried the lid off the barrel, and dumped two gallons of ripe fish entrails onto the beach. “The sheer glamor of the job.”
Yaaah Raaawr. More content!
Thank you.
Thank yoouuuuu!!!
Can’t wait to find out who Pressida is!!
Can’t wait to meet Keraengle, she sounds like a real treat lol. I assume she’s a mare.
Typical war horse?
Hmmm … does Maggie know how to ride?
Maggie does…. she mentioned it in the scene with Arvel
Aahhh, the glamor… it was totally listed in the job description 😂
Who is Pressida? Where does she fit in the story? Why is her job so glamorous? Why was she dumping ripe fish entrails onto the beach? Is she a knight of Selva? Will she be helpful? Who or what is Keraengle? I need answers and I need them now!
Sigh. Fine. I’ll wait until the second book is out. Thanks for the snippet. Yay-rawr!
Her Name is Dame Pressida Vi Lattivet. She’s a knight and going from the Name, I think we can all guess who she serves.
She’s also a born Noblewoman so I guess a certain Duke we know put her in Maggies service to protect her and continue her training in etiquette.
Gasp! (I’m feeling dramatic today.) Did you get this info from the Zoom? Nice! Also, thank you!
I found the previous post referenced by AP below that introduced Pressida. Thank you!

You can read more about Pressida here!
Thank you! I must have missed this bit earlier!
Good catch thank you
Thank you for sharing the link with the additional background.
Thank you. I don’t know how I missed this!
Thank you do much ❤️
I’m guessing the ripe fish entrails are to attract that invisible creature that likes to eat bodies from chapter 1.
Yay snippet!!! Just what I needed today.
And honestly Pressida, same girl, same.
The sheer glamor – yup – that describes it all perfectly!
SNIPPET SNIPPET SNIPPET!!! BARSA BARSA BARSA!!!
Whoot!! I love being back in snippet mode! I hope all is going well in the writing/editing process for HA. Thank you!
Heh, yup, all the glamor
Thank you!!!
oooo, I wonder what they’re baiting with the entrails
Thank you for the snippet and the art! Her expression shows how much she loves the glamour of her job. 😂
A previous post gave her full name and that she’s in Maggie’s service and that just brings up sooo many more questions – am waiting chalantly for book 2.
I thought she’s on loan from Everard as she is a knight of Selva judging from the name?
Ha, so much fun!
Off topic, but I wanted to say thanks for the accessibility options – not sure how long they’ve been there, but I know several people this really helps, so thank you for adding it.
🙂 It’s been there for years, so happy it helps!
We always had the accessibility options. It was one of the first plugins we installed. The plugin author updated it recently, and the icon changed, which is probably why people are noticing it more.
thank you!
Oh dear, new people and so many instant questions. Thanks!!
Thank you so much!
The crowd goes wild for snippets @.@
….. so, snippet Wednesday – will this be a weekly treat, so we don’t go feral waiting for book 2? My hopes are so high right now, being a member of the BDH is a toll on my blood pressure 😀
Sheer glamor!!! Love it
Hooray for snippet Wednesdays! does this mean we’ll get snippets now every Wednesday? as well as Fri-yays? *puppy eyes* lol
Fish entrails. Truly nothing is more glamorous.
Gahh! Love the snippet!
Snippet happy dance!
The Horde gets treats! The Horde is Beloved!
I also LOVE the pic. She doesn’t need a sword; she could slay folks with that look of disdain. (Pledging my loyalty here and now.)
Ha, glamour indeed!
Now that I think I figured out who I think Pressida is or works for? 💚 Can I ask if they are baiting our river monster friend ?
Oooo is she hunting something?
I hear you, Pressida. I hear you. The glamour of fish entrails in a barrel. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for the snippet!
On to book 2, even though it’s not out for a long while yet. I still think Steve, the ferrets, and Sushi should steal it now for the Horde. 😁
I love Pressida already.
Snippet Surprise! Hooray! Ugh, ripe fish anything is such a smell. Hopefully that barrel was well sealed for the ride.
Hope you all are well!
Fish guts on a beach. I’m thinking chum, for something in the waters that’s Much Too Big…
My quarter horse mare Pana would go up down over any trail. She was part bull dozer through heavy brush. Would she haul fish guts No Way. I had her until she was 33 years old
Thank you….love me some snippets!
Also, ripe fish entrails are sometimes disguised as dirty dishes to be washed, laundry to be sorted and put away, houses to be cleaned….yep, retirement is all about the glamor too! 😂
Thank you House Andrews for the snippet and for your care for the Horde’s voracious appetite…..
Sending peace, health and safety to all!
squeeeeeee!!! Thank you❤️
