In a land where a person's good (or bad) fortunes rely on the stars they are born under, ex-warrior Adair Karrow has defied the misfortunate hand she was dealt at birth and has made it to her wedding to the handsome, young General Xander. Unbeknownst to her, a shocking revelation on her special day will make her question everything she thought she knew about the man she loves. In a tale of adventure, sacrifice and romance, Adair must decide between what she wants and what is right. ***This short forms part of a larger tale called Born Under an Ill-Omened Star. The following events take place prior to the events in this short: - Adair defended the King in what is known as the Omen Wars (a fight over prosperous lands with stars more likely to instil good omens on new babes). -Upon return from the war, Adair moved to her childhood home where she now resides with housekeeper Yvaine. - The character 'Thaydon' who makes an appearance was a comrade of Laird during the war, to whom she owes her life.
