Lady Kiona woke in darkness to a pounding headache and a crushing weight. Gravel prickled her face, and a stone pressed painfully into her throat. A coppery reek filled her nostrils. She tried to rise. The weight held her down, and a terrible pain lanced through her left leg. Kiona groaned, and memory returned.
She wasn't a soldier, but she'd been in a battle. A cavalryman had cut her leg to the bone; she'd succeeded in parrying his next blow, but his deflected sword had struck her horse in the gut. The mortally wounded mount had screamed and reared, throwing Kiona from the saddle; the impact with the ground had knocked her senseless. After that, she realized, a body had fallen on top of her, hiding her from enemy eyes. She shivered, wondering if the Esphanese soldiers had heard her waking groan.
