Her first breaths were tinged with the smoke and ash of her mother's dying enemies. And when Yeeran screamed, she joined the rallying cry of her tribe as they rode into battle. Soldiers giving birth on the front line wasn't uncommon. If you could hold a drum, you could fight. And yet we still don't have enough soldiers. Yeeran let out a heavy sigh as she surveyed the war map in front of her. Each valley and hill had been etched into the slab of oak by skilled cartographers. An expensive piece of craftmanship to have in a bedchamber, but Yeeran's lover had never been called frugal.

Yeeran's hand slid up Salawa's back and tangled her fingers in the edges of the woman's braids. They hung heavy against her naked skin, weighed down with beads and gemstones. 'I can't sleep.' Salawa didn't respond for a time. Yeeran liked that about her lover, that each second was considered, every thought knitted together, before she spoke. 'Twenty years you have waited to be promoted to colonel. Few thought you'd do it before your thirty-fifth birthday, yet here you are, the youngest colonel the Waning Army has ever had' 'Not until tomorrow.' Salawa inhaled sharply. She didn't like to be interrupted. Yeeran's hand slipped up from Salawa's clavicle until it rested against her cheek. It was only then that Salawa softened enough to continue. 'Sle...
