Ora wants no part of it.
But once the Fates know a thing, it is known for all time.
Still, the Lock-Maker King and Lord Eldeghel speak of a new destiny that involves her. However, for Ora becoming a warrioress and Scinan Chief has long been enough of an achievement.
When she withdraws to the solace of the wild, that’s where the first arrow falls.
She’s spared when a Fate sacrifices himself in her place, and it’s in her scramble to save him that Ora first marks her would-be assassin. As the people of Bridges feel the pressure of assaults on the Kingdom, matters get worse. A Londh Baron arrives equip with 300 Morgwn Knights, and he’s come to seize control of Bridges Township.
The Council greets this Baron like a King, but there's much he doesn't know.
Where is the Morgwn Master of the Town?
Why do citizens make pilgrimage and offerings to a great tree?
What is behind these strange flags that flutter on high?
And when he finds out the truth, well, 300 Knights would be enough to crush most any Morgwn town in the North.
While the Council lies and persuades, arrows fall, poison flows, and the evidence points to once war-torn mountains sealed by Fata treaty, long ago. A treacherous land is waking up again....
You'll love this Fantasy 'first contact' series, because the intrigues are thick and delicious, secrets begin to unravel, and -- in the end -- a woman must be what she is.
