  2. CW: Writing WIP: "The Wolf in the Shadows"

    Jenifry did not expect her life to end when she climbed up the small stool to hang some herbs to dry in her hut in the small village of Glenglass in the hilly woods of Niston.

    Well. It did not literally end, but it sure changes everything when you get hit over the head, get bound and gagged, get carried to a creepy old sacrificial site in the woods, and wake up as gift of the village to placate a roaming werewolf. Not that Jenifry believed in werewolves, anyway.

    She gets rescued by Elena, a knight of the order of the Argentae, who doesn't just believe in werewolves, but also hunts them - a lot of things Jenifry thought to be superstition turn out to be anything but.

    With her small life in the small village not an option to return to, she follows Elena into the world, seeking a place where her talents as healer might come in useful. She hears of the Circle of Healers in Weslyn, and parts company with her rescuer, who remains on the werewolf's trail.

    But is that the end of her adventures, when she just so happens to turn to Elena's sister Silvana to get her where she wants to go? Surely not, because adventure seems to find the sisters wherever they go...

    Will Jenifry find her new life? What is up with that werewolf? Why is Elena so singleminded about that? How can a religious, noble knight be the sister of a barefoot rogue of the traveling folk? Will the world at some point make sense again?
