When war is all you’ve ever known, the promise of peace is more terrifying than any battle.
For Freya, there is no life worth remembering before the army, and none worth imagining after. Born to the lowest caste of a brutally bigoted society, she’s found no more horror on the battlefield than she knew on the streets.
And she’s earned a lot more respect with a sword in her hand.
As a young man, Dragan was blooded on the rush of adrenaline and sated by the euphoria of victory. With Freya beside him as his partner, he was indestructible. But age and mortality are gaining ground, and cracks have started to appear.
He’s had fifteen years of war and he’s earned his retirement.
Together they survived the war. But can they survive peace when it means different things to each of them?

Well kiddies, it has begun. TOUCHSTONE is alive and out free in the wild.
To send it on its way, the lovely folks at 1889 Labs have offered everyone the chance to win one of three free copies of the book. Pop on over to Goodreads and press 'Enter to Win' - so easy even I could do it and not get it wrong. Go and have a go. It's running all this month.
Some very kind readers have already stopped by and taken the time to rate the story, many thanks to them. I read a book reviewer recently who, speaking of all digital fiction released outside the mainstream, said, "You can confidently disregard any 5star reviews. They have been given by the author or their family and friends, or at the request of the author, their family and friends." I'm sure it happens, but I can give my personal assurance that I have never voted up any of my stories, and I have never asked anyone to rate them. For what it's worth, that is my promise.
Poor Freya, she really is out there now, with the whole world able to judge her choices. One reader asked me if Freya is a coward. I don't believe that she is. If she didn't want to die alone, I think she can be forgiven for that.
I hope you will all read and enjoy.
