Mercenary Heart
The war-torn lands of Dasir have known the tyranny of mage-lords, the peace of a wise and just king, and now they know war. The former mage-lords have regained power and revolted. The king's forces of mundane soldiers fight a losing war against unbound destructive magic. The peasantry struggle not only with their daily drudgery, but the ravages of war, the fallout of magic, and the cruelty of armies. Dasir's neighbors watch passively to see which side will be the victor. The world is one where selfish survival is the way of life. Lexnia Guerrin-Blackshire is a former mercenary turned criminal. Forced to choose between enlisting in the royal army and an execution, she finds herself among an undisciplined squad of misfits. Trapped in a war she doesn't believe in, she tries to find a way out of her sentence, only to find her way into conspiracy and an unwanted love.

Scenes to be compiled into chapters, so they'll be posted in bits like 1.01 and the like. Mercenary Heart was going to be my Camp Nanowrimo project until the external world decided to hopelessly distract me. While a daily post proved impossible, I think I'll be able to swing a weekly one. This means the story will move slower than I had anticipated, but I think it'll be at least somewhat enjoyable for everyone involved.
