The Pawns of Havoc (Envoys of Chaos #0.5) by Dave Lawson
No Mercy, No Questions Asked.
Cork has quickly made a name for himself among the Kosellan mercenaries, but now his boss has come to him with an unusual job. Cork’s erstwhile countrymen, the Winn, have hired him to travel into the barren Frozen Lands and destroy a convoy, leaving only one survivor.
Cork isn’t sure he can trust the Winn. He feels like a pawn in their political game. However, his mother is sick and the Winn have promised to heal her if Cork does the job. And killing is what Cork does best.
To make matters worse. Cork’s crew has been decided for him: Arabella, an inexperienced and infuriating archer, and Nessa, a gloomy criminal with murder on her mind.
Cork will have to figure out how to complete the job, avoid Winn treachery, and manage conflicts with Arabella and Nessa along the way.
It's going to be chaos.

Reviews
The Pawns of Havoc is a novella that takes one of the side characters (and best character by far) from Lawson's The Envoys of War and not only deepens the lore, but weaves an interesting tale that makes said character far more likeable than he already was. Winn and win (yes, that's a in-world pun...).
