Ayla’s POVNobody told me what to do, so I stayed put. Everyone was rushing around the camp. Men put on their armor, shouted to each other, and tried to put out the fires with snow. Someone dropped a pot of water, and it spilled into the snow. A horse pulled hard against its rope, and two warriors had to hold it back. I stood beside the third supply wagon with my bundle in my hands. I didn’t know where else to go. The driver beside me, the thin man who was always coughing, kept looking at the horses and then toward the hills."What's happening?" I asked him."Scouts came in," he said. "East knows we're coming.""How do they know?""Does it matter?" He started tightening a strap that was already tight. "Stay by the wagons. That's the safest place. The commander said so.""Darius said that?""He said it to everyone."I turned around. Darius was on his horse at the top of the little rise on the east side of the hollow, with half a dozen commanders around him. I couldn't hear what he said

Darius’s PovThe slope was steeper than it looked. My horse took it at a run, half sliding, and I leaned back in the saddle and held on. Wolves and warriors scattered out of my way. Somebody grabbed at the bridle, and I kicked him off. The valley floor was coming up fast, and in the middle of it, a small figure stood with a knife in her hand and a ring of men closing around her.I counted them as I rode. Seven, or maybe eight. They were Eastern, in long gray furs, and they weren't in a hurry. They had seen me coming. One of them looked up and said something to the others, and two of them turned to face me.I couldn't charge straight in. If I drove the horse into that ring, someone would go down under its hooves, and Ayla was standing in the middle of it. I pulled the reins to the right and went around, and the two men who had turned came with me, running to cut me off. I saw the first one coming for the horse's legs. I swung my sword down hard, and he dropped back, and the horse went

Ayla’s PovI made it to the rocks just in time. I got behind the biggest one, where the campfires couldn't reach, and dropped onto my knees in the snow. My stomach turned over. I put one hand flat against the stone, bent forward, and waited. For a second nothing happened. Then the vomit came up all at once, and I was sick into the snow with my eyes shut and my hair falling in my face. It went on longer than I wanted. When it finally stopped, I stayed where I was, breathing through my mouth. The snow was cold against my palms, and my throat burned. I wiped my lips on the edge of my sleeve and told myself it was over, but it wasn't. A new wave started a moment later, and I bent over again.I was so annoyed. That was the strange part. I should have been scared, or at least worried. Instead, I just felt irritated, the way you do when a door sticks or a shoe pinches. Everyone else in that camp had real problems. People had died that morning. Twenty-three of them, and almost forty hurt, and

Ayla’s PovI sat there for a long time without moving.The cup stayed in my hands, and the water grew cold. All around me, the army was moving. Carts creaked, and somebody up ahead was whistling off-key. I barely heard any of it. I stared at the cart in front of me, where a sack of grain had a hole in it and a thin line of white was spilling onto the snow. I couldn't think about anything else but the baby.I said the word “Baby” in my head a few times. It didn't feel real. It felt like a word from someone else's life. The King had wanted this. I kept coming back to that. He had stood in his hall and said it in front of everyone, like he was ordering supplies. I was to stay with the prince until I had a child. Everyone had been waiting for it, and now it had probably happened, but Darius still didn't know.I tried to picture his face when I told him, but I couldn't. Maybe he'd be surprised and angry, or he'd probably go blank, the way he did when something caught him off guard. I had n

Darius’s POVI was looking at the map with the commanders when an old warrior rushed in. The sound of his boots made everyone turn. He stopped in front of us, breathing heavily with one hand on his side."Commander," he said. "It's the girl. She's sick again."I put down the stone I had been using to hold the map flat."How bad?" I asked."Bad enough that I came to get you.""Keep going," I told the commanders. "The patrol, then the river crossing. I'll be back."I left before he could answer and headed for the wagons. The old warrior followed close behind. When I got to the third wagon, Ayla was nowhere to be seen. Her cup was lying in the snow, and water had spilled onto the ground.I found her behind the wagon. She was down with one hand against the wood and the other holding her hair back from her face. Her shoulders were shaking. When she heard my boots, she tried to straighten up and almost fell."Don't," I said."I'm fine." Her voice was hoarse. "Don't look.""I'm definitely lo
