About this ebook

A three-year-old girl walks out of a cornfield into a tiny farming village...

There is no clue to how she got there, and she speaks a language that baffles even the village mages. Is she a witch? The result of a wizard's errant spell? By the time she starts school she is already an outcast, and her temper doesn’t help her make friends. The other children bully her relentlessly.

When she buys a sword, a local swordmaster recognises her natural talent and offers to train her in an elite method. He soon sees in her more than just talent: she has a gift. She is driven to master the techniques and be the best swordfighter she can be, to stand up to her tormentors. Ultimately, she is determined to leave the village to find out who put her there.

I am a Wallace fan and am very happy with this not quite origin story for the main protagonist in the Gatekeeper series. While we wait for books four and five to finish the series this novella sets the stage for the main story. I love fantasy stories but grow weary of the high falutin language of traditional high fantasy. Wallace’s characters speak like real people, they are relatable and intriguing. This is a great story to get your feet wet in Krista’s world. Highly recommend

About the author

Krista started out as a singer, studied Theatre and got her degree in Acting at UVic, then eventually added writing to her creative endeavours. She has sung classical, musical theatre, rock, R&B and jazz. She has been the vocalist for FAT Jazz for something like 427 years, and is half of a jazz duo called The Itty Bitty Big Band. She writes primarily fantasy, but dabbles in other genres, in both short and long fiction. Combining all her artistic exploits, she took on audiobook narration, and producing a podcast, [Totally Fantastic Title], which then branched into the production of her own audiobooks. Krista grew up in the Port Coquitlam vortex, and so was naturally pulled back there after her time away.
