Summary
The cry wavered thinly in the warm confines of the room, cutting through the barked orders and bustle of the physicians, and weaving abruptly above the low moans of the Lady, collapsed on the bed. Kit watched as the infant was handed carefully from head physician to assistant, its slippery limbs waving in the dim light of the lanterns.
When Castle Tortain falls in the civil war, Kit is swept up into a desperate trek across the countryside of Jemith to deliver a baby to safety. Acting as nurse maid, Kit is thrown headfirst into the battle front politics of a country gripped by a war for the throne.
