An alternative beginning for Glass Sword. Everything happened so fast, in one moment Mare thought she was manipulating the two brothers and in the next she was being stabbed in the back by one of them, and in the following she was fighting for her life by the other brother side at the Bowl of Bones. They say that when the adrenaline pulses through our veins, when we are in constant danger and fighting for our lives we get anesthetized and when the adrenaline is gone, everything there is left it's reality and it hits us right where it hurts the most. Mare Barrow just saw her world fall apart, taking with it all the terrible choices and the cruel betrayals, forcing her to face the ruins. With a war about to emerge there will be many battles and she is not sure if she can win the one she has feelings for.
