Produktbeschreibung

Oh ye imps of sour water, not Tzakende, the city with more gods than rats or the Ngarra where even the little children carry knives. Priests or knives, priests or knives...which would it be?

Layla led a free life as a gem thief, her choice of the two careers open to a woman who'd left her husband, but she had broken the cardinal rule of her trade: she'd stolen from a temple. While the huge emerald had netted her a tidy sum, it had also attracted the attention of the Goddess of Mirth and her priestess, both urging her to service. And though Layla appreciated some of the Goddess' giftscoins, for oneshe was less pleased with the overlarge and temperamental donkey who appeared in her upstairs room.

What was a woman to do? It was time to decide, time to leave dusty Charransar on the edge of the Wastes and strike out into the unknown, hoping to avoid both the divine attention of the God she had robbed, and the Goddess who had taken an interest in her.

Autorenporträt

Jane Bigelow has published two fantasy novels. Her new novel, A Most Inconvenient Corpse, leads the reader into a glittering world of elegant music and dance, astronomical research, courtly intrigue--and murder, in a world inspired by 18th century Versailles. Marguerite, Duchesse de Lille, never meant to kill the Marechal-duc de Nolhac. Can she escape? If so, how? Jane's earlier novel, Talisman, involves the struggles of Layla, gem thief, to elude the whimsical gratitude of Kossinli, Goddess of Mirth. Be careful what you ask for: you might get it, in this Silk Road world. Jane has also published short stories, including several in the Darkover series, and nonfiction articles. She is a member of Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers and the Denver Area Science Fiction Association.

One of her favorite things about writing fiction is to get into the mindset of someone from a completely different background. She is fascinated with foreign travel, archeology, music, and world history. They have given her lots more writing ideas than she will ever have time to use. Jane lives in central Denver with her husband, Robert, two barely-controlled cats, and an out-of-control garden.
