Publication day for the linguist!
Today is publication day!
The next installment in the cozy romantic fantasy novella series comes today, and it kicks off the story of Neta and Antoine. Arguably my favorite couple in this series but… we won’t let the other two couples know. 😉
The Lingiust:
Neta does not trust the Fresians who enter their remote lands to cut down their trees. However, she does trust her elders and will not allow her fellow tribesmen to treat their guests unkindly. But after stopping one attack, she inadvertently becomes the cultural guide for the foreign linguist, Antoine. Though she does not want the task, she can’t deny that something is intriguing about this kind foreigner.
Antoine knows the Karish do not trust him. After many years as a linguist, Antoine is excited to experience the Karish lands and prove that studying cultures can help bridge divides. He did not expect the hostility that greeted the arrival of the Fresian foresters. Antoine is torn between serving his country and proving trustworthy to the Karish, especially the one kind tribeswoman, Neta.
As their cultures pull them apart, Neta and Antoine must choose between loyalty to their people and their fledgling bond.
