Brownbird’s Luck
In a misty land, long ago, and far away, lived a lovely girl-child of fourteen. Her lineage was as mysterious as the mountain range that loomed over the valley where she lived. Her father grew flax, and her grandmother, “The Dark Weaver”, wove the linen into beautiful tapestries, some with strange powers. This was their only means of a living. Deila tended the animals on the small farm and helped “Gran” with the weaving.
One night everything changed when a foal was born to the dray horse and by morning was taken from them by a mysterious, evil creature.

The first in a new series, “The Land Behind the Veil”. The story of a young girl growing up on a poor farm may seem boring until the reader begins to get the idea that there’s more to “Gran” and her granddaughter than meets the eye.
And sure enough, strange things start happening fairly early in the story. The ending is quite unexpected, but makes a great setup for the next book in the series.
