BLURB:
Why did
Kaja – a bearer of good fortune – suddenly run out of luck?
Shadow creatures lurk in the dark, one misfortune leads to the next,
and her fear of being claimed by the aristocrats increases by the
hour. Furthermore, she is torn between her seaman and the wild wood
wanderer, before whom all warn…
Can she
escape her superior opponents? And how will her heart decide?
The
rotten door of the workshop resisted her attempts to conquer it. It
really shouldn’t be such an effort to close a damned door! Kaja
tore at the knob again and held her foot against it. It was a
well-rehearsed ritual between her and the antiquated entrance to the
ground floor of her parents' house – but the house grew more
stubborn with every passing day! Or was it because of her increasing
impatience? Finally she managed the deed and left the workshop with
the unfinished business behind.
It was
already dark outside – reason enough to declare the day to be over,
even if she had only managed a few candle sculptures today and the
freshly stirred ointment gave off a peculiar smell.
The
upper floor, where the living area of her family was located, could
be reached by a staircase on the outside of the brick house. The
stairs creaked – as usual – but when she entered the next level,
something moved behind her. Who came to them at this late hour? She
couldn’t see anyone. "Is anyone there?" she called
hesitantly into the darkness. It was quiet. Still, the uncomfortable
feeling of not being alone lasted.
Quickly
she climbed up the stairs and searched for the matching key on the
keychain. Just as she had found it, something hissed behind her.
Startled, she dropped the keys. She turned around and saw ...
nothing. However, a very dark, moving nothing – which could only
mean one thing: a shadow creature!
