Hullo, everybody ! I know a lot of you must be really pissed about that ending. But, trust me. You have for thirty-two chapter. This series is the continuation of Bonds of Blood, but with an added twist. In the light of Mother's Day, the first nine (hint hint) chapters are coming out today. Rontu was always more than Marrick, something she started to lose sight of towards the end. But now, she's something more than that, whether she wants to be or not: a mother. Please, don't give up on her journey, and I hope you enjoy ! -LR

Dear Segen,
I'm in Windhelm, baby, staying with some old friends. They didn't recognize me at first, but I'm sure it was more because of your presence than of my face. Once, they knew me as a warrior called Na'el. Funny name, I know. Now I look as I once did, so that when I look on your face, you'll be looking on mine. Right now, we are four weeks along, you and me, and your uncles are almost as excited to meet you as I am. Even though they are Nords, we celebrated Ovank'a on the twelfth, which is a holy day for Redguards making wishes to Stenndar for the new year. On the sixteenth, we and Redguards all over Mundas celebrated the Day of Lights together. Your uncles, though not by blood, are fierce warriors and loving people. They are called Ralof, Kieran, Bjorn, Nolan and also Wendell. Funny names, I know. I'm writing so that when you arrive, you can read these and will know your life before breath. You will know what the world was like before you. I can tell you now, Segen, it's much less interesting, and a little more lonely. Right now, you are about the size of a small fruit. I think you'll maybe have an apple-shaped head. When I was a small child, they teased me, and called me applehead. In any case, I know that as long as we can be together, I am proud and happy to be one.
All my love,
Mana
