The battle-chanters
The empire banned Heartwood’s songs. Heartwood went on singing them with its fists. The battle-chanters heal the way they fight: quickly, out loud, and up close.
“They banned the words. Nobody thought to ban the rhythm.”
Heartwood’s claim: Grievance. The never-conquered and the displaced, holding a writ that reads “Restitution upon Return.”
