Blurb:
Why
did Kaja – a bearer of good fortune – suddenly run out of luck? Shadow
creatures lurk in the dark, one misfortune leads to the next, and her fear of
being claimed by the aristocrats increases by the hour. Furthermore, she is
torn between her seaman and the wild wood wanderer, before whom all warn…
Can
she escape her superior opponents? And how will her heart decide?
Before
the midday heat sent Donn’s residents retreating to their homes, she was almost
sold out and Kaja hummed to herself as she packed up the leftover goods. Just
as she stowed the last honey jars, she discovered two stalls further, in front
of Salina the tailor, a tall man with pitch-black, wild hair standing on end.
He was barefoot, and wore dark suede pants and a fur bag over the shoulder. A
wood wanderer!
Kaja
knew she’d better look away – her father had ingrained it in her thoroughly.
“Never speak to a wood wanderer!” he had always warned. “Do not look to them
and keep your distance! They are dangerous!”
However,
she couldn’t pull her gaze away from the stranger. Dangerous? Might be. But
fascinating! And besides, she couldn’t leave Salina alone with one of the dangerous
forest dwellers! Now he turned his head to her and held midway in the movement.
She wouldn’t be deterred! Defiantly, she lifted her chin, took a few steps
toward him and held his gaze. Were those gold spots in his deep brown eyes? His
mouth twisted into a grin. His teeth were not in the least black and putrid, as
it was always said!
She
had almost reached him, as a tumult arose.
“A
wood wanderer!” someone yelled. “Arrest him!” and, “Guards!”
The
savage looked around. Before him was the market stand on his left, and from the
middle of the market guards came through the crowd. The only possible way led
past Kaja. He gave her an appraising look and sprinted in her direction. In
passing by he touched her arm and a huge energy shock flashed through her. If
the sky hadn’t been clear and free of clouds, she would have sworn she’d been
struck by lightning! By the gods, how was that possible?
