Kim sent me 3 excerpts of Raging Sea: Reckonings: a PG version, PG-13, and R-rated. I went with the PG-13, right in the middle. If you'd like to see the R version, let me know!
Kim lives on a farm in southwestern Virginia with her family, cats, goats, Great Pyrenees goat guards, and assorted wildlife. People and creatures come and go, but the cave and the 250-year-old house ruins—the latter having been occupied as recently as the mid-twentieth century—seem to be sticking around for a while yet. She has been an award-winning novelist since 1999 (Dawnflight 1st edition, Sonnet Books, Simon & Schuster) and has been studying the Arthurian Legends for nigh on half a century.
Raging Sea: Reckonings can be read standalone,
but the reader will be better informed if s/he has read Dawnflight (book 1;

) and particularly Morning’s Journey (book 2; Kindle worldwide link http://getBook.at/Mornings_Journey_by_KIH_Kindle
) first.
SYNOPSIS
Those who aspire to greatness must first learn servanthood.
Stripped of kin, clan, country, and even his identity for having failed the
most important woman in his life and her infant son, Angusel begins the arduous
task of rebuilding his life and reclaiming his honor. The path he treads is
fraught with uncomfortable revelations, unexpected reconciliations… and
unavoidable reckonings.

EXCERPT (PG-13)
Gull gave Angusel a measuring stare, glanced at the skies—which had
remained calm, and the temperature was behaving itself for once—and reached a
decision. “Elian, the wood can keep. Our wee lion cub needs a woman. So do I,
truth be told.” He picked up his sword.
Over Angusel’s embarrassed, “What!”
soared Elian’s hearty laughter. “I suppose you know just the place,” said the
centurion with a grin.
“Of course. Don’t you?” Gull shot back. When he got no response, he
continued, “How long has it been for ye, auld boar?”
Elian’s grin soured. He pivoted on his wooden leg and stomped inside the
cottage. Without looking back he said, “None of your cac-licking business. Take
him, then. Just don’t be all day about it.” The words faded with distance until
the last few were almost inaudible.
