The Brothers Who Did Not Come Back

A column of the Target Order was caught in broken country by a force that had every advantage of ground and numbers, and it did not break until there was very little left to break.

The survivors are in enemy hands and a ransom has been named. It is a large one, because the enemy knows exactly who they have taken: not levies, but professed brothers of an order that has never yet left its men to rot.

The Master has not asked us for the money. He has been careful not to ask. That is itself the request.
