Lore: The Song of Nott

THE SONG OF NOTT Nott should have died at five. Her father came home drunk on Fae Ichorwine and cut her throat. Her brother dragged her to a creek to die. The earth itself refused. Now she is fifteen, mute, with a scar she hides under a necklace and a green light that lives under her skin. She and her brother Vidar work the Great Caravan as Guardians. She signs, she smiles, she is good with axes. No one needs to know about the light. Then she saves a child and an arrow stops in mid-air. In Petirorin, a city built inside the skeleton of a dragon, that kind of magic is illegal. The Fae call it primordial corruption. They have been killing people for it for a thousand years. On the morning they come to execute her, the floor breaks open beneath her feet. Something has been waiting in the dark since before the Fae had a name for god. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Lore: The Song of Nott — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
