CHAPTER 11
Before the Flenser Movement, Woodcarvers had been the most
famous city-state west of the Icefangs. Its founder went
back six centuries. In those days, things had been harder in
the north; snow covered even the lowlands through most of
the year. The Woodcarver had started alone, a single pack in
a little cabin on an inland bay. The pack was a hunter and a
thinker as much as an artist. There had been no settlements
for a hundred miles around. Only a dozen of the carver's
early statue |

CHAPTER 31
It was high summer when Woodcarver's army left for the
north. The preparations had been frantic, with Vendacious
driving himself and everyone else to the point of
exhaustion. There had been cannons to make -- Scrupilo cast
seventy tubes before getting thirty that would fire
reliably. There had been cannoneers to train -- and safe
methods of firing to discover. There had been wagons to
build and kherhogs to buy.
Surely word of the preparations had long ago filtered north.

CHAPTER 39
"A bad understanding. She was lied to."
Ravna tried to read something behind the voice. Steel's
Samnorsk was as creaky as ever, the tones childish and
whiny. He sounded no different than before. But his story
was stretched very thin by what had just happened. He was
either a galaxy master of impudence -- or his story was
actually true.
"The human must have been hurt, then lied to by Woodcarver.
This explains a lot, Ravna. Without her, Woodcarver could
not attack. Without her, all |

CHAPTER 13
At Woodcarvers and then -- a few days later -- at Flenser's
Hidden Island, the long daylight of arctic summer ended. At
first there was a little twilight just around midnight, when
even the highest hill stood in shadow. And then the hours of
dark grew quickly. Day fought night, and night was winning.
The featherleaf in the low valleys changed to autumn colors.
Looking up a fjord in daylight was to see orange red on the
lower hills, then the green of heather merging imperceptibly

CHAPTER 19
Johanna coughed; things just seemed to go from bad to worse
around here. She'd had a sore throat and sniffles the last
three days. She didn't know whether to be frightened or not.
Diseases were an everyday thing in medieval times. Yeah, and
lots of people died of them, too! She wiped her nose and
tried to concentrate on what Woodcarver was saying.
"Scrupilo has already made some gunpowder. It works just as
Dataset predicted. Unfortunately, he nearly lost a member
