[Medieval fantasy setting]

[The Warrior Maiden]

Background.

The Steppe Horde's invasion was so unexpected that even the forts of the Kingdom of Eisenmark, known for their impregnable walls, fell in the first weeks, opening the way for the nomads to the very heart of the kingdom. When the noble families heard this news, they did not reach for their weapons, but for their carts, to load their treasures and head further west, fleeing from the Horde and leaving their people to fend for themselves.

Hecate, unwilling to accept her family's decision and hearing about the continuing siege of Stonethorn Fortress somewhere in the east, left home to gather an army and help the besieged soldiers. Who would have thought that such a righteous goal would throw Hecate into months of hunger, diseases, and constant attacks that could be her last.
