Chapter 1
A brown haired, smoky eyed, girl looked out onto the valley, she saw fog resting in the heart, but she also saw smoke. As she tangled her fingers in her grey pony's mane, she made her way slowly through the trees to the village.
Veralidaine Sarrasri was known as the village bastard, with only her ma knowing who was her father. This didn't particularly bother Daine as she spent most of her time in the forest, making friends with animals, practicing her archery and collecting herbs for her ma's remedies. Daine found the animals and her pony, Cloud, better company than the other children in the village, and often spent the early evenings listening out for the call of the wolves. When she heard the cry she felt as though she was running with them, searching for their prey. The bustle of the hunt thrilled her.
Daine's ma was the village healer, but despite her position was often passed the snide about Daine, although she had delivered almost all of the village children. She had always encouraged Daine to play with the other children in the village but Daine refused every time she suggested it, and so eventually gave up. Daine never got on very well with most of the village.
Some friends of her ma's came to the house sometimes, like Hakkon Falconer who trained birds of prey for the lord. She enjoyed her talks with him about the birds and he even asked for her ma's hand in marriage but her ma had said that Daine's father would not be too happy about that as if he was just around the corner. He still visited even after that.
It was nearing the end of January when Daine's ma sent her over the valley to the next village, where her friend, who had just recently married, had developed a cough. Daine carried the medicine in Clouds where she warned the mare that if damage came to it she would singe her tail. Cloud trod carefully after Daine. Her ma had told her to stay there over night and come back the next day. Daine reached the house finding a newborn baby to occupy herself with. When her ma's friends husband, who was a shepherd, showed her his prize ewe, which was going to give birth to twin lambs Daine had to help. The ewe would have died if she hadn't been there. It was hard work for Daine so they let her sleep until noon by which time a thick fog had swamped the valley.
