Overview

Klara doesn't have to think twice when a band of itinerant travelers offer her employment with their company. Eager to escape life as the village whore, she joins the expedition knowing only that the ragged wanderers are destined for the wildlands believed to be the ancestral home of their Goddess. Signing on as cook and huntress, she embarks on an adventure that leaves her torn between hope and fear. Aided by an unhelpful wizard, Klara finds herself pursued across nations by rabble-rousing religious zealots and ushered into a journey of self-discovery, tapping into a new world of sexual exploration rather than exploitation. Klara's journey catapults her into the lives of a banished nobleman and an exiled king, either of whom may shatter her heart... or lead to the ultimate betrayal.

"""In her debut novel, Wright does a masterful job of portraying Klara's journey. The Klara that the reader first meets is guarded and cut off from emotion. After she joins the Keltoi, she begins to open her heart to the possibilities of family and love, though her growing trust proves to be dangerous. Wright also ably develops the rough-hewn Keltoi into distinctive, enjoyable characters. Wright has created an enthralling new series lead, so here's hoping Klara hangs on until the second book."" --Kirkus Review ""Libraries and readers seeking stories that represent the intersection of fantasy, history, romance, and psychological growth will welcome the opportunity to follow Klara on her life-changing journey through a world in flux."" -Midwest Book Review "". . . a satisfying milieu of discovery and unexpected twists of plot to keep the romance elusive and fresh and the action spirited . . ."" - D. Donovan, Editor, Donovan's Literary Services"
