Blood Red (9781101637890) (2014)
“Not because it was grand, or the rooms were grand—although it was, as Dominik had promised, the best hotel in the town. But because it was exactly the proper mix of everything to make her feel comforted and at home, and still feel a bit pampered.
The room was not large, perhaps a trifle larger than her room at the Bruderschaft Lodge. The bed was beautiful, all of wood, with a wooden canopy overhead, and the most wonderful featherbed! There was a gorgeous Turkish carpet on the floor, a fine ...fire in the fireplace. And silence! Which was exactly what she needed to call on the Elementals and ask for a haus-alvar, one of the little domestic Earth Elementals that enjoyed living alongside humans, bringing them luck and domestic peace.
For this, she needed only what she had brought up in her portmanteau, along with some sweet cakes she had bought from a vendor at the railway station. Not just any sweet cakes, of course; the heavenly aroma had lured her to the old woman’s cart, and she had bought and tasted one before she purchased more.MoreLess
