Who do you serve?

Somewhere along the way I decided The Stronghold needed a trailer.

Books don't usually get one. But this series has lived in my head as something closer to film than to print — the desert, the machete, a woman who calls herself The Mistress — and I wanted to know whether any of that would survive being put on a screen.
