Produktbeschreibung

Is it Fate, or is it Fortuity? Perhaps it's Magic . . .

Six stories that are filled with hope and heartbreak, suspense and surprises, and some chuckles.

***

One story: To Chase a Lore

A food-taster who steals food. His fantastical penalty. Will he survive?

Lestrum is a food-taster to the wealthy Overlord's family. Summoned for stealing food for his wife and child, he fears severe consequences. Instead, he's blamed for a ghastly crime he didn't commit. His punishment: exile. That is, unless he fulfills a command-an errand so ridiculous in concept that it stinks of failure from the start. How is he to secure something that existed only in folklore?

Lestrum doesn't know where to begin when he's released outside his oppressed city. He's mired in desperation. It wasn't going to end well for his family and himself.

Can Lestrum succeed at the impossible task and reunite with his family?

Autorenporträt

Weary of averting her grandfather's constant persuasion and frustrated by her inaction, Niki Patel picked up the pen one night and emptied her brain on paper.

By the time she wondered if she wanted to sustain the habit, she was elbow deep in tales. Her stories are an amalgamation of one part love of nature, one measure of gardening and food, the nostalgia of her life in India, and the rest, a twisted imagination of her mind.

She resides in the United States.
