A Taste of Magic - Tapa dura

"A superb storyteller with a narrative pace all her own." - The New York Times on Andre Norton."

"There was no Moonson to hear the oath and vouch for it and me, but it didn't matter. As blood dripped upon the bed and the body, I committed myself physically and spiritually. I would never stand free until the blood price for Lady Ewaren was paid...until the man responsible for her death was slain by my hand." Thus, young Wisteria pledges vengeance on the noble who destroyed her village. Harnessing her magical abilities, which attune her senses to the magical powers of nature, she sets off into the wilderness with a young fellow survivor, braving the wilds in search of justice.
