The Broken Jar

After finally escaping the war, Carter wanted nothing more than to keep his wife Ana safe. But safety for her, a barbarian of Pells, meant leaving Ashon for good. As he struggles to keep her hidden and earn the money needed for the journey, he encounters a part of his past, a part he preferred to forget, and is reminded who the real barbarians are.
A short story of love and loss set in the world before After the Dying.
