The wailing baby did not care for King Siward's speech, and the loud cheering from the crowd only made him scream louder still.
Rosamond sighed. "Lady Jolanka, bring him here." She held out her arms, but Siward plucked the baby from her companion's arms first.
"What's wrong, Helios?" Siward asked his infant son.
"Selene hit him, or pinched him, I am certain of it," Jolanka said, sounding quite proud of the girl as she thrust a beaming baby Selene at her mother. "You'd better name her heir to the throne and not him. She's the fighter, and the elder, too."
"We shall see," Rosamond said. "The king and I have many years yet, in which to live happily ever after. The tale of our twins...is yet to be told."
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Demelza Carlton has always loved the ocean, but on her first snorkelling trip she found she was afraid of fish.
She has since swum with sea lions, sharks and sea cucumbers and stood on spray drenched cliffs over a seething sea as a seven-metre cyclonic swell surged in, shattering a shipwreck below.
Demelza now lives in Perth, Western Australia, the shark attack capital of the world.
The Ocean's Gift series was her first foray into fiction, followed by her suspense thriller Nightmares trilogy. She swears the Mel Goes to Hell series ambushed her on a crowded train and wouldn't leave her alone.
