I love this story, @jayna. And I want more. 🙂
Will Jocelin ever see the baby? Who is the father? And the obvious question: what is the secret?
This short story should be seen as a teaser for a complete novel.
Due to HF20 I was unable to post or comment until today. I'm working on my story and I hope I will be able to post it tomorrow (which is, in fact, today). Hopefully it's not too late. What if HF20 would have been successful? 🙂
Go ahead and post your story, whenever it’s ready, @roxy-cat. There’s a nice big grace period!
Thank you so much for the kind words. I enjoyed writing this little vignette. I imagined that some secret, told to a friend she unfortunately trusted, soread by word of mouth until it reached the kingdom, and then all hell broke lose and knights were sent to slaughter her family. The secret itself hasn’t yet come into focus, but I’m thinking perhaps her father was a spy for a rival kingdom.
