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?
EXCERPT:
The gods obviously had lost their minds! Otherwise,
such a disaster would never have happened to the twins Kaja and Liana. It
objected to every law of nature! Nevertheless, on this fateful spring morning
fifteen summers ago, indescribable misfortune came over the two, although they
were considered bearers of good fortune from birth.
Kaja would never understand why, of all people,
Liana suffered such a fate. Her sister had always been the sunshine of the
family. She herself, however, had a lot of nonsense in her head and preferred
to stray through the streets of their hometown, Donn, with the other kids to
play adult pranks. A carefree seven-summer-old she floated through her life,
grounded only by Liana. In return, she always scattered the worries of her
sister and protected her from the unpleasant sides of the outside world.
On this terrible day Kaja longed to shield her
sister, as always. Panic threatened to overwhelm her and she almost choked with
fear, but she fought relentlessly against her mother, Namea, whose arms
prevented her from moving. She had to get to Liana and convince the crude
footmen of the Earl to take her instead of her twin sister! Liana didn’t
deserve such a lot, and Kaja knew it was her job to prevent it!
Kaja trembled with fear for her sister. She closed
her eyes and saw black spots blur Liana’s pastel-green contours. Despair and
pain darkened her view. Her heart was pounding. Panicked, she tore open her
eyes and watched through the narrow gap in the closet door as a fat, bearded
bloke abducted her sister.

ReplyDeleteWow, this isn't a love triangle, it's love soup. She's interested in two guys, and a bunch are interested in her. Did the family arrange for the earl to take Liana, or was it just a whim on the earl's part?
ReplyDeleteOh, no love soup! ;-) The nobles only want to claim her as their property because she is a bearer of good luck.
DeleteThey didn't arrange it, surely parents would never do something like that to their children.
Thanks for promoting Talisma!
