A Court of Thorns and Roses

Feyre and her sisters go to their village market to sell her latest catch. While her sisters walk off to explore, Feyre approaches a female mercenary and offers to sell her the pelts she has. They strike up a conversation, and the mercenary mentions a recent attack on a village in the North wherein a pack of martax raided a village in the dead of night and tore half the village apart. Feyre is disturbed by the mercenary's description of the attack and the martax themselves.
