Three WLW—a knight, a sorcerer-madwoman and a fallen Lady—are trying to save the population of a castle under siege. Rations will run out in fourteen days. There's religion, magic, and horror. I ended up loving this, but I nearly DNF'd about five times first. It doesn't really find its feet until the halfway point, when the POV characters start to interact with each other. After that? So good. Creepy supernatural things, learning rules of magic on the fly, honour, revenge and some lusting. Content warning: cannibalism, starvation, general horror.
