Book Excerpt
Pratima's Forbidden Book
Pratima does not have any more men to send to the wall. Several curtain walls have been used and are destroyed. A few gaps have opened along the wall.
Darlana hears a fluttering sound.
"It is a pigeon," Pratima exclaims.
"What does the message say," Darlana is breathless.
"The royal army is at Bhind," she says excitedly.
"Bhind!" Darlana is shocked. "That's only 40 kilometers away!"
"We only have to hold out until they travel 40 kilometers," Pratima is crying with frustration. "How long will it take?"
"If the train is running," Darlana thinks out loud, "They could be here in one hour."
There is one more attack about thirty minutes later.
"They are inside the breastwork!" someone screams.
