Product Description

A sumptuous love story set in a world as real as history and as marvellous as legend.

A foundling child, Luck - named for the colour of her god-favoured copper hair, is fortunate to be taken in by one of the Blood. She remembers little of her past, her parents a vague and teasing memory, but service in the Dame's household is better than that of most mud folk.

She is beaten rarely and is fed well, and, under the Dame's watchful eye, Luck is even permitted to learn herb lore. But her comfortable world is turned upside when the old Dame dies, and her nephew arrives to claim his inheritance.

Choosing to remain with her friends rather than claim her freedom and strike out alone, Luck's life is calm until her new exotic looks attract the attentions of her new master!
