A captured lord. A dying knight. And a heroine who refuses to abandon either.

Seventeen-year-old mage apprentice Rielle accompanies her master on a mission to save a lord from a town under mercenary control. But mercenaries aren't the only newcomers to town.

"Winter Wren" is a 7,000-word fantasy adventure short story, a prequel to the romantic epic-fantasy series Blade and Rose.
