Nine Letters Long (26 page)

‘Undine, Undine, it's time to come home …'

Undine is changing. It starts simply with a feeling, but as the feeling becomes something more powerful and dangerous, Undine knows she must find out what is happening. Her journey leads her from familiar things – the house on the steps, her unpredictable mother, her best friend Trout who insists on falling messily in love with her – to a father she has never met, and a sea she has never seen. But in trying to find herself, will Undine lose herself forever?

In a world of ignorance and secrecy, how can one girl discover the truth?

When Janna is saved from a wild boar by the handsome serf Godric, she's not sure whether to kiss him or slap him. The last thing she needs is a beau. Janna wants the freedom to follow her dreams – and a marriage proposal isn't in her plans. But Janna's life is shattered when her mother Eadgyth, a healer, dies suddenly. Janna believes she was poisoned. With so many suspects – from the posturing apothecary to the vengeful priest, from the jealous midwife, who might know Eadgyth's secrets, to Dame Alice's young attendant, who isn't telling all she knows – Janna will need all her courage and skill to bring the murderer to justice. Who can she trust, when even Godric and Hugh, the dashing nobleman, have secrets which threaten her heart and safety?
