Open Wounds, A Novella of Beginnings

A time of beginnings...

Names of power, legends of glory. Stories don't always start at the point where the heroes enter and vanquish the monster.

In this case, two friends will end up facing each other as prisoner and jailer, queen and ultimate subject. Their decisions in that place and time will shatter a distant corner of the world, leaving the fate of many to random chance and the viciousness of winter.

But first, long before they face off as bitter enemies, two children, on that verge between leaving childhood behind for the pathways of adulthood, must answer the most delightful question imaginable.
