Both Sides the Border

From the lookout of the stone hold, you saw sunrise flash on a spearhead where your father's raiding party should return. Twelve riders, captured cattle, three packhorses, and four spears missing from hands; the count brings relief and bad news together. You step into this one-chapter preview with Mary Forster at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Your hammer fell again while the expected Baird response remained beyond sight and time. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
