He appears to have received forgiveness from his mother by his next letter, written in early August, as it describes other reservists being called up. It dwells on pay but his real concern is his feelings for his family. His love and greetings to his siblings make his naivety and youth very clear. Just a line to let you know that I am getting on alright.

This is all at present. Revealing of the fact this soldier is just a young boy, he adds kisses for Mother, Lillie, Kitty, Fred, Maggie, Ted and Dad, sends love again to his aunts and uncles and fills the last page with kisses, as a child might. Stephen expresses hope that he will be home soon for the weekend.
Just a line to [let] you know that I got the fags on Tuesday. I thank you very much for sending them… They have stopped the weekend passes as there are a lot of absences, but I shall ask the Captain for permission to come on [a] pass. We are going to the front on the 19 of November. Give my love to Lillie, Kitty and Freddie and tell him I will come and see him by and by.

The process of mobilisation continues and, after moving to Sheerness in November, Stephen is sent to join the 4th Battalion, which had returned from India to join the British Expeditionary Force in France. Shortly before his departure, Stephen writes a cheerful and positive letter. Just a line to let you know that I am alright. I am enjoying myself… I will soon be home. The 4th Battalion arrives in France. Stephen is at the front. He sends a postcard home, still enthusiastic about being in the Army. Just a line to let you know that I am quite well.
I am for the front on Tuesday. But if you write to the Commanding Officer and say I am only seventeen it will stop me from going. Get it here before Tuesday for I cannot get a pass to come and see you. But Harrison, and her children and grandchildren, would not be here today to tell the tale were it not for the equally remarkable events that ensured the survival of a sixth brother, the youngest, Wilfred, her grandfather.
As news of the deaths of successive brothers spread round the town, such was the outpouring of sympathy for the Smiths that some could not bear the thought that even worse might come. Soon after that intervention, Margaret Smith received a letter from Edward Wallington, private secretary to the queen, and this time it bore good news. Wilfred was duly afforded the necessary official discharge and came back to Barnard Castle to be with his mother in the early autumn of As she leafed through a pile of old photographs of the boys happily playing together before the war, in her home in Barnard Castle last week, Amanda struggled as she tried to imagine the emotion of that reunion.
So when Wilfred came back he must have just been, well, just so precious, so precious to her, trust me. Wilfred rarely talked about his experiences of the war. He blocked it out.

As a young boy on the vast plains, his position as the second son, the Soldier Son, is cemented from birth. From an early age, Nevare is drilled in mounted cavalla Cavalry techniques, riding, survival, tactics, and all aspects of life as an officer in the King's Cavalla.
As a teenager, he has a first encounter with the Specks' magic see below , which will influence the rest of his life. Later, as a young man, Nevare's education at the King's Cavalla Academy begins. Nevare suffers the consequences of being the son of a New Noble, when the struggle between Old Nobles and New Nobles in the court of Gernia affects the supposedly independent Academy. Book two, Forest Mage , concerns Nevare's trip in disgrace to a town near Gettys, and his time at this farthest outpost in the King's Road construction.
His connection with the Specks, a race of tree people who live on after their corporeal lives, develops further.
