Tribal Honor

Miriam Fletcher knows when something is wrong. As only one of over twenty children in the massive, primarily Christian family, she frequently has feelings of unease. Sometimes it is because her latest stepmother has morning sickness, or one time when her eldest sister had appendicitis.

Miriam was born with the ability to see and know more than physical things, and that ability has led her down the path of the pre-Christian beliefs of her early Celtic and Saxon ancestors.

This time is different.

She's just come home from a visit to her father, and Traci isn't well. Medical and psychological tests show nothing wrong with her, but Miriam can see on Traci fathomless black spots where there should be nothing but color and light.

Now Traci has a new boyfriend. Thomas Whitecrow seems to be the ideal future son-in-law. He is attentive to Traci, respectful to her father and stepmother, and nothing but pleasant to the rest of Traci's family.

But Thomas Whitecrow has a secret.

A secret that threatens to rend the order of the world and let loose an ancient, nameless, elemental evil. Miriam must find out that secret, how to stop Thomas Whitecrow, and prevent the world from being laid waste, all while working with a system of belief and of magic that she has never dealt with before, against an enemy willing to do anything to succeed. An enemy bargaining with Traci's unborn child.
