Excerpt:


“Mind your tongue, scum,” a growl rose from the men, a local man from the sound of his voice. Part of Elizabeth thrilled to hear the menace brought to her defense, but the tension in the group was too heavy for her to feel any comfort; the man was not defending her, but looking for an excuse, the spark that would set this confrontation to violence. She knew that as well as she knew when a plant was about to bud.



Dead Bodies: a lady never looks back to find out.
Wardrobe changes: one
Things magical: the itch is growing.
Tea consumed: none.
