Selah of the Weavers hates her knowings.
Not true prophecy.
Hints, only. Just enough instinct to leave her uneasy and uncomfortable.
A sense that something is coming but not how to prepare.
As her family’s caravan struggles through relentless rain toward Escabayle, that ache of knowing in her bones is a warning … and a shadow.
Then the blackbird joins them.
A stranger who speaks of Reckonings and kings around the fire, but whose true message is delivered in whispers in the dark.
A message Selah doesn’t hear but that forces her to realize that the danger ahead may be far greater than a storm — and far closer to her family than she wants to believe.
“Blackbird” is a haunting prequel short story to “In the Shadow of Secrets,” perfect for readers who love dark epic fantasy filled with dangerous secrets, layered worldbuilding and slow-burning dread.
