Audiobook read by Benadette Dunne
This follows on from Beguiement, picking up the story as Dag and Fawn head towards Dag’s Lakewalker home. Dad didn’t expect the Lakewa;lers to accept Fawn readily – farmers and Lakewalkers have never intermarried, but their marriage meets with especially vitriolic resistance, especially from Dag’s mother and brother. Fawn has a lot to learn about Lakewalker life, but she’s sensible and practical and simply gets on with it, supported by Aunt Mary and various members of Dag’s Lakewalker patrol. Things come to a head in the aftermath of a particularly difficult and dangerous malice outbreak. Fawn proves herself time and again, but nothing is good enough for Dag’s family. The end of this leads straight into the next book.
