Howell (!) is the brother of the MC of Ravens of Dinefwr…next novel…not written yet (sigh)
Read….THIS
He was castrated as a child. And (in my mind) that made him MY Sherlock Holmes of this novel. He’s the lonely, silent scholar who lives inside his head because he’s been mutilated.
Anyways – I’ve done Eunuchs/Castrati/Lady Macbeth telling her husband to grow a pair/Harems etc before.
One day, maybe, someone will see :o)
