The Red Dawn

These are sample chapters from a fantasy story I'm working on. It's definitely a work in progress. This story (so far) follows two boys who meet by a odd and terrifying incident. Rauros Longdraw escapes his home country as a wanted man, fleeing north. He is wanted dead by the prince of Ozu and is pursued by heavily armed southern warriors. The chase runs straight into the jaws of a Tunaski ambush. Fearsome northern warriors mounted on giant wolf-like beasts descend upon the southern host in a terrifying battle rage. One of these northerners is Svaln Whitewing, a well liked, furious, young warrior riding a terrible she wolf into battle. But then something happens that no one anticipates, bringing the two very different boys together in a strange turn of events.
