She’s the One Who Doesn’t Say Much

(Book Four of the War Stories of the Seven Troublesome Sisters)

by S. R. Cronin

GENRE: Historical Fantasy

BLURB:

Do you know what your problem is?

Olivine knows hers. This quiet thirteenth-century artist has been hiding a secret as she travels to K'ba to meet her friends. Others assume she's fallen in love with another artist, but it's much worse than that. For on the way to K'ba is the dirt poor nichna of Scrud, a place scorned by other Ilarians. And in Scrud is the one man who understands her.

However, Bohdan recognizes the dangers posed by an impending Mongol invasion. When he learns of Olivine's unusual visual powers, he convinces her to pick up her bow and start practicing.

She does, though she's more concerned with moving to K'ba where she can paint all day and see Bohdan whenever she wants. If only her sister hadn't decided Olivine and her fellow long eyes held one key to defending the realm.

Then, as if life wasn't complicated enough, Olivine learns the artist community she yearns to be part of has developed a different take on the invasion. They're sure the only way to survive is to capitulate completely to the Mongols’ demands. Artists who feel otherwise are no longer welcome.

Where does her future lie? The invasion is coming soon and Olivine doesn't have much time to decide.

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:

My parents preached tolerance and never specifically forbade courtship with anyone. They preferred to focus on the sort of man they favored. Or rather on the sort my mother favored. To be honest, my father said little on the subject, acting as if matchmaking was best handled by women.

Scrud was the poorest nichna in Ilari, followed by Eds, I supposed, and maybe Faroo. People from all three tended to marry their own, though exceptions happened. They seldom happened, though, with families like mine. Those with less education and little social standing faced this situation.

Yet, my parents were reasonable people. Perhaps if they understood how much I cared for Bohdan, and what a good man he was, they’d welcome him into their lives. I’d never know unless I made some gentle inquiries. And what better day to do it than on a day already centered around love?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt certain Coral’s wedding would be the perfect day to learn more about Mom’s flexibility when it came to selecting a mate. She’d be in her glory, having orchestrated the marriage of one daughter to an honorary prince. My question about finding love in an unexpected place would be as well received then as it could ever be.

Then once I confirmed she was as open-minded as I hoped, Bohdan and I could face the question of whether we wanted a future together, and what that future would look like.

AUTHOR BIO:

Sherrie Roth is the author of a collection of six speculative fiction novels known as 46. Ascending and is now in the process of publishing a historical fantasy series called The War Stories of the Seven Troublesome Sisters. A quick look at the synopses of her books makes it obvious she is fascinated by people achieving the astonishing by developing abilities they barely knew they had.

She’s made a lot of stops along the way to writing these novels.  She’s lived in seven cities, visited forty-six countries, and worked as a waitress, technical writer, and geophysicist. Now she answers a hot-line. Along the way, she’s lost several cats but acquired a husband who still loves her and three kids who’ve grown up just fine, both despite how odd she is.

All her life she has wanted to either tell these kinds of stories or be Chief Science Officer on the Starship Enterprise. She now lives and writes in the mountains of Western North Carolina, where she admits to occasionally checking her phone for a message from Captain Picard, just in case.
