Won by the Sword

In October 1639, you commanded boys armed with sticks against an imaginary fortress on a hill outside Paris. Hold the line as Turenne's regiment did; the wall matters less than reaching it together under pressure. You step into this one-chapter preview with Viscount Turenne at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Ahead waited the army, and the first campaign that would test whether his confidence had found the right boy. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
