Field Of Mars (The Complete Novel) (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
Stars filled the night sky like a spray of sparkling gems, but the light was weak without the moon to power it. On this night Mena ventured from the baggage train and came forth through the darker shadows to the army’s forward units. There she found Rufinius asleep in the tent’s doorway, snoring gently, his limbs again accustomed to the rigors of the march. Placing a bony hand on the tribune’s shoulder, she shook it until his eyes finally came open and he started, disoriented, in the twilight of sleep, his body flinching when he gained sight of his former slave. Mena placed her finger against her lips to caution silence and backed out of the tent. Rufinius came to her, stretching his back. “You unnerved my very soul, hag.” “None of your barbs!” she hissed. “Do you wish to see a certain someone or not? I am here as promised, the moon no longer with us. It is now or never.” The tribune placed a hand on her shoulder and gave her thin bones a squeeze.
