TEMPT ME, MASTER
The village of Oakhaven was a quiet place. It was a place where people grew corn, milked cows, and went to bed early. For Lyra, it was a prison. Lyra was twenty years old, with long dark hair and eyes that always seemed to be looking at the distant mountains. While the other girls in the village talked about which boy had the best farm or who would marry the blacksmith’s son, Lyra spent her time in the small village library.
She wasn't looking for books about farming. She was looking for the scrolls of war. She was looking for the stories of Kaelen, the Steel General.
