Read by Bernadette Dunne.Meg has been roped into participating in a weapon smithing competition, organized by a blacksmith friend. Meg originally turned down an invitation, but the night before the filming starts, someone attacks Faulk, her blacksmithing mentor, breaking his arm and eliminating him from the contest before it begins. Meg agrees to step in as his replacement to keep the project from failing. She's not thrilled that the filming will take place during December; Christmas is already a crazy time for her. Even so Meg joins the cast, to the dismay of several old-school blacksmiths who think women have no place in the profession. And if the show's producers were hoping for drama, they're in luck. The blacksmithing world is a small one, and some of the contestants arrived already laden with grudges and feuds. It's a high-stakes, cutthroat competition between people who wield large hammers and make swords and have forges full of fire at their disposal. What could possibly go wrong?
