St. George and St. Michael, Volume 3

A weary rider stumbles into a modest cottage on the edge of a war‑torn countryside, his body battered and feverish after a desperate escape from a hidden trap. Mistress Rees, a seasoned healer with a steady hand and quiet strength, tends to his wounds, offering restorative draughts and a safe haven amid the chaos. The scene throbs with the tension of a world on the brink, where even a simple act of care can become a lifeline.

As the injured soldier regains consciousness, fragmented memories of betrayal and looming danger surface, hinting at a relentless foe who seeks his demise. Outside, the rumble of armies gathers, and his family’s urgent summons pull him toward a gathering siege that threatens the region. Balancing his fragile health with a fierce sense of duty, he must decide whether to remain under the cottage’s roof or rejoin the fight that shapes his destiny.
