As the Crow Flies

She left her homeland, running from the murder of her father and an imagined crime. Three years later she returns, looking for something that she cannot quite define until she hears the rumors. North. That is where she’ll find answers to the plague that swept through Lef and forever changed her world. North. That is where the truth can be found. But when disturbing dreams haunt her and she begins to fall ill, she wonders if she's being driven by her need, or by another's.

Close behind is Grote. Nursing a disfigured jaw and wounded pride, he will stop at nothing to catch up with her and make her pay for her crimes against him. He has waited three years for her to return to Lef but his patience is wearing thin. He cannot rest until he finds her and sees the fear in her eyes as his fingers close on her throat. He has competition, though, because if her illness doesn't kill her, the remaining people of Lef just might.
