Last Christmas

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart…

In three weeks, Katherine Zova and her boyfriend Tyler will be going off to fight in the civil war dividing the United States, but for now, they plan to make the most of their time with their family, and each other. Two thousand miles and a world away, Reynan Caverly struggles to get into the holiday spirit, drowning in regrets and enough alcohol to keep the ghosts of memory at bay.

This seasonal short story serves as a prequel to Finding North, appropriate for newcomers and fans alike curious about what Christmas looks like in a post-apocalyptic future, or to celebrate the holidays with your favorite characters from the Compass series.
