Salau is a harsh world where sword and bone and sinew reign supreme. Nemi was born into this world, taught to fight, and expected nothing more than to serve her people until eventually she fell to another in combat, as is the ultimate fate of all warriors. However, following a betrayal and a miracle, Nemi begins to move beyond the confines of her former life, and in so doing she begins to learn the terrible truth upon which Salau exists.
It's time for Nemi's people to pay their annual tithe to the King. All goes well until they begin their way through the lands claimed by the Kilim. An ambush leads to a flight to safety in the snow, treachery...and a surprise
The Kilim have been vanquished, but the bloodshed led Nemi to recognise there is a problem, and one that just might get her killed. So she heads for the city of Fel-Sta, hoping to find a solution there, and finding something unexpected...
Nemi is summoned to her Chieftain for taking up unknown arms...and finds herself forced to fight not just for her right to carry her swords, but her very life itself! NB: coded as minimal sex for some of the descriptions - read it and you'll see...
