| Summary: | "Sorrow is a story about a girl, Faina, who is way beyond her depth. Once privileged, her family has lost its status and wealth, and as a guarantee against their debts, she's been offered up as something of a marker. She's moved into the palace of a strange noble, where she's watched and well cared for, but nonetheless a prisoner. She's a happy, energetic thing, and somewhat to the consternation of her keepers, she ends up bonding with the various servants and other local common folk, all of whom seem to adore her. But then the murders begin to occur -- asassinations, really -- for these people are living in a tumultuous, religiously volatile time, not unlike our own. Important people are being killed, and that draws the attention of the duke. He sends his man to deal with things, and it quickly becomes a contest between two very deadly assassins. And poor Faina caught in the middle of it."--Interview with the author, Blogcritics.org. |
