Her name is Roseanna Giulietta di Raprezzi.
Her friends call her Rose.
The Church of Sedellus calls her The Sacrifice.
Before she was conceived, her mother sought to save a city by offering up “her children yet unborn” as a Sacrifice of Death. The woman thought she was sacrificing her fertility. What the lurking Goddess, the Dark Mistress of Fate, of Autumn, of Trickery and Deceit thought she was offering, none can say for sure.
Now Roseanna is sixteen years old, the age of majority in the Halmae.
And she is tired of waiting to see what Fate has in store for her…
And yet another word from our sponsors
