What We Carry - Book One
Redstone is a small village in Aldoria, close enough to the trade road to hear wagons and far enough that trouble usually passes it by. Usually. When riders come through the lane, twelve-year-old Lysa Redstone does not run far enough. She is left with a little sister, a spear that does not fit her hands, and a choice the village cannot make for her: stand in the road, or wait for the next set of horses.
Calren, an old swordsman who should have been done with teaching, makes a point of her instead of a maiden. Years later she leaves with a named blade, a burned scrap of map, and a promise to Treesa she has no right to keep cheap: when she comes back, she will say it is over with her own mouth.
The map leads to a tavern at the foot of a range, and to three women who were not looking for a cause so much as a night that would not waste them. Sylvie steals what courts pretend not to see. Hope reads older languages than the ones kings like to claim. Muriel makes a song of whatever will keep them moving. Together they walk toward a mountain people only speak of when the fire is low.
A treasure on a map brings four women together, the pursuit changes their lives. The bonding, the family first idea, humor, death, monsters, and loyalty
This is a book about what you carry when you leave, what you carry from your past, what you carry after living life.
