Captain Verundish has two problems. On campaign with the Adran army and far from her homeland, she is helpless when the young daughter she left at home is threatened. To make matters worse, General Tamas has put her lover in command of a Hope's End—the first charge through a breach straight into the teeth of enemy cannon and sorcery. To save the people she loves, Verundish will have to come up with a deadly solution... - from Amazon.com
I thoroughly enjoyed A PROMISE OF BLOOD, and being able to get my hands on a short story from the same world, in order to ease the time while waiting for the release of the next novel, was nice. Though being a quick read (too much so) it is a stand-alone that takes place prior to events in the novel. Capt. Verundish is a female in the forces that takes on a suicidal mission in order to protect her daughter and her lover. McClellan has done a nice job of throwing some background on a few characters, even if it felt like a tease as we wait.
