“Thank the goddesses that hasn’t happened.” “That I would sprout seven whiskers on my chin?” Brigitta shuddered. “Ye liked it better than the prophecy I gave yerself.” Remember last week when I picked the stone with the number seven, and ye said I would have seven suitors vying for my hand? ’Twas nonsense, but I still enjoyed the sound of it.” “Come now.” Gwennore, who sat to her right, gave her a sympathetic smile. Two deaths? She quickly closed her fist around the Telling Stones to keep her companions from seeing them. Even the third pebble, marked with the number two, suddenly struck her as ominous. The thoughts jumped into Luciana’s mind the instant she spotted the red and black colored pebbles in her hand. Nothing of the destiny in store for them. Parents who wish to save their child either lie about when the child was born or send the child secretly to the Isle of Moon where he or she will be safe.Īnd so our story begins on the Isle of Moon at the Convent of the Two Moons, where five young girls have been raised. The kings will not allow anyone to possess a power that they do not, so they dispatch assassins to kill the newly born Embraced. They are protected on the islands, but in danger on the mainland.
A child born on the night the moons embrace will be gifted with some sort of supernatural power. Twice a year, the two moons align in the night sky. Anyone who denies their god is put to death. They call their god the Light and their people the Enlightened. The kings on the mainland refuse to bow to female gods. Only one person lives on the small Isle of Mist-the Seer. The islanders and their queen live on the larger island of Moon. Over time, the islanders began to pray to the twin moons, Luna and Lessa, and now they believe their goddesses are watching over them. There, the fishermen and traders rely on the two moons in the night sky to guide their boats safely home. It consists of two islands called Moon and Mist. The fifth kingdom lies in the Great Western Ocean. Four of the kingdoms extend across a continent. In another time on another world called Aerthlan, there are five kingdoms.
