Summary
Opening chapter for my current original novel-length project, what I'm calling my exercise in id-indulgence. Posted as a teaser to encourage me to work.
Premise: A military academy in an embattled nation has a reputation for turning out brilliant officers whose skill in fighting is exceeded only by their devotion to the law of courtesy. But two of its elite students begin to uncover secrets that may destroy its beloved founder and threaten the academy itself. Soon they find themselves drawn not only into the looming threat of scandal, but into the overwhelming prospect of war, which will put their skill, their courtesy, and their friendship to the ultimate test.
