The Grounds on Which We Walk

By Reshika Subbakaran

Arlette only knows the rags on her back and the dirt that cakes her skin. Masen is the one person who keeps her smiling. He is the son she cannot live without. Until one day, he is taken from her side. A thirteen-year old boy sent to fight in the front lines of the Guerre de Hollande, with no promise of coming back. In this gripping tale of love and loss, Arlette has no choice but to adapt to her new surroundings without overstepping her bounds, to live every day powerless over her son's life, and to evade the person she fears the most. Her loyalty to the crown and the obedience that was forced upon her are put to the test when a message is delivered to her in the dead of night, a message that will haunt her with every breath she takes. A message about her son.
