Jess

Captain John Niel rode through autumn heat toward a farm where he hoped to begin life again outside the army. Fourteen years of service end with one tired horse, one thousand pounds, and a third share not yet inspected. You step into this one-chapter preview with John Niel at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. John saw her eyes turn once toward him before Mooifontein's gate closed behind the party. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
