Taken By the Enemy
“Lucian had left on another hunting trip the day after she had earned the right to have her hands free, and he wasn’t back yet.
For that she was grateful.
They seemed to leave in shifts, always bringing back fresh meat to the village while those who stayed behind tended to the rough gardens in the forest around them, or gathered naturally growing foods. That was where Clara spent her days, and it was obvious that these people knew more about what to eat, and what not to eat, than Emmie c...ould have ever learned in the time she had spent researching.
A few other things became very clear in Lucian’s absence.

Third, Emeline’s very short list of talents was making her a complication to the other women in the village.MoreLess
