The Captive Harpist of Lutrea

Thyre's gift helps the trees grow in the sacred grove and soothes tortured minds. Chosen to be the next Völva for her people, Thyre has prepared herself to take up the staff and the bag of bones since childhood. On the night of her initiation, after she drinks from the chalice, she is kidnapped by a band of raiders from far across the sea. A warrior nobleman from the land of their enemies, a people who look and act entirely different from her own, has heard of her gift and seeks to use it for his own means. Soon Thyre must make a choice to stay among her captors or escape to return to her homeland.
