One charge, one chance is their motto. Time it right, and the tide of any battle can be turned; get it wrong, and it could all be over. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the two forces face off outside the walls of Trajinot, it is not just the hordes of undeath the Templum must fight. Intangible terror poisons the air, driving seasoned warriors to panic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly the Elect knights of the Seventh Horse have the discipline to stand their ground; yet facing a fear doesn't mean it will do you no harm, and for Shader, there are worse things than wounds of the flesh. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Seventh Horse is the second Shader Origins novella (the first is Ward of the Philosopher).
