If she had stayed to load the kiln as she should have, she''d never have seen the ship. Mama said the ship still would have been there, so everything had to happen the way it did. But that''s not true. Clio saw it, and the world changed.
When a raiders'' ship appears off the coast, the goddess demands an unthinkable price to save the town - and Clio''s grandmother creates a sacred statue to save Clio''s life.
But Clio is torn between the demands of guarding the statue and caring for her beloved horses. Disabled in an accident, she must try to put aside her own grief at no longer being able to ride - and in the process, save a friend''s life and stop a war.
Rippling with emotion and drama, war and resistance, fear and determination, this novel is a brilliant companion to the highly acclaimed Dragonfly Song and Swallow''s Dance.
