Sympathy For the Living: A Tale of the Hawthorn Knights

By Rillan macDhai

A typical delivery of military dispatches along the north-eastern coast of a plague- and undead-ravaged Scotland goes awry when an undead knight's still-mortal conscience must choose between his duty and the people he's already died once protecting.

"Rillan made me care about a zombie. I hate zombies " - Gillian Fitzgerald, author of Pooka's Bridge, The Battle Crow's Daughter, and other stories.

A ghostly woman blocks the path of an unusual military courier.
Starving animals, a farmhouse with no door, a dead man, and sick human children convince him to stay.
To save the children, he will face flood, brigands, undead, and a necromancer.
Someone who could do more than kill him - again. Someone who could steal his free will.
