The fourth of Rachel Harrison’s Severina Raine short stories to get a digital release, this focuses on the relationship between the Commissar and Captain Andren Fel. Over the course of a quiet conversation, while the war rages on around them, they each tell the story of the final trial they faced at the end of their time in the Schola Progenium.

The focus is very much on the unusual relationship between Raine and Fel, and overall it’s an excellent example of how to use a quiet short story as a powerful character study.
