For Sonni


Chapter One

I hate you, Sorren thought at the ocean.

The summer air, heavy with salt, made her tired. The money bracelet which Arre had given her for
shopping had left a red line on her arm. Behind her on the dock, the stink of fish steamed upward like
smoke. Sails bobbed in the bay. An empty cart bounced by her, pulled by a weary gray mule. Flounder,
she reminded herself. Flounder in four days.

She walked through the market, past vendors and shops and stalls, to the familiar slope of the hill. The
ocean winked at her back, brassy as a plate. Shop banners hung limply in the windless morning. The
cobbled streets were hot, but Sorren barely felt it through the tough calluses on her feet. By the time she
reached the hilltop, she was plodding, and her cotton shirt stuck to her back and breasts.

She paused before the Med gate to gaze over the city. The red dome of the Tanjo shone at its heart.
