Steel Scars is a novella set prior to the events of Red Queen.[1]

Synopsis[]

Captain Farley exchanges coded transmissions with the resistance as she travels the land recruiting black market traders, smugglers, and extremists for her first attempt at an attack on the capital. She was raised to be strong, but planting the seeds of rebellion in Norta is a tougher job than expected—until she stumbles upon a connection that may prove to be the key to the entire operation: Mare Barrow.[1]

Plot[]

Diana "Lamb" Farley is a member of the Scarlet Guard, a ground of Reds working to overthrow the Silvers. Farley and her soldiers have seen families torn apart because of conscription. Farley believes conscription, as well as the constant fighting between different groups of Silvers, is part of a plan to exterminate the Reds.

Farley fights for the cause of the Scarlet Guard alongside her father, a Colonel in the Guard, whose codename is Ram. Farley both respects and hates her father. She has been given her first independent mission. She hopes that she will be able to successfully complete the mission and prove that she is a serious soldier, especially to her father.

Although Farley is making progress in creating contact points with Reds in the city of Corvium, she is ordered to return to base, an order that she ignores. She trusts her guts and stays with her mission until she is able to return to the Scarlet Guard with two new recruits: Shade Barrow and his sister Mare Barrow, both of whom have special abilities invaluable to the Guard.
