I never knew anyone else like Aven Heartsblood. She was a piece of my earliest memory: a figure against the lavender waters of Starbright Lake, looking out into the distance as her plaited green dress billowed with the breeze.
I was a young thing — barely three summers old — and I clutched my mother’s hand as if I had seen a phantom in the woods.
I was only a servant’s child, but Aven and her family became revolving fixtures in my life.
Of course they would be. They were mages who could determine threads of fate.
I was just a pawn.
