Keep the Fire In

Where it starts

A carter named Cass took a fare at the east gate of the king’s city: a big man in armor that had been hit a lot, carrying one plain wooden crate he would not let anyone touch. She drove him four days of good road and one day of bad.

She never told a soul who he was. She told the rest of it twice.

One email with the chapter. After that, only when there's real news.
