  1. Summary

    The unseen content of my novel, The Weapon Who Wept.

    ANASTASIA KNEW HOW TO SURVIVE. The atrocities of her childhood training had taught her how to keep herself alive, no matter the cost. It was this desperate mentality that persuaded her to sacrifice everything and escape when the opportunity arose, abandoning all she had for the hope of a better life. No matter the cost.

    BUT OVER TIME, A BURNING RAGE began to grow inside the hardened woman, temporarily cauterizing the wounds of her traumatic upbringing. And as the years went by, the flames of her anger and frustration only grew. She tried to pacify it, dirtying her hands in an attempt to calm the insatiable fire alight inside her. The peace was fleeting, however, only momentarily reducing the burn to a smolder, nothing able to truly extinguish the wrath that threatened to consume her entire being.

    AFTER A PARTICULARLY HIGH-PROFILE ASSIGNMENT gone awry, the former KGB operative turned mercenary is forced to go on the run once again. And when a menacing force enters the fold, Ana must confront it head-on by digging up the past she spent years trying to bury.

    Summary

    "I dance in dangerous fables, walk a woods with trees white as bone. It's always winter and I'm always pressing my face against something warm with blood." - Yasmin Belkhyr, 'Blizzard'.

    “Men die,” Barbrey tells her, bone-white with anger, eyes flashing. “Men die, Donella. Should Stark’s boy not sire a son on you, and if the Bastard has the Dreadfort-,”

    “You speak as if Robb Stark were in fragile health,” Nell rolls her eyes. “You’re being paranoid.”

    “Willam was in excellent health until he rode off to his death at Ned Stark’s side,” Barbrey hisses. “Do you think he did not promise me we would have children and a long life together before he left? Do you think he did not promise to come back to me? You cannot know what the future might bring. My lord husband survived a war only to die in Dorne. Men and their promises are not your safety nor your refuge. Land is. Power is. Never forget that.”

    (In which Nell Bolton contends with both her mother's bloodstained legacy and her father's bloodthirsty bastard, and along the way claims a beast for a bridegroom.)
