Cursed. Evil. Dangerous. The townspeople whisper terrible things about Tara when she passes by. Terrible, true things. Bad luck has a habit of following Tara around. Especially unfortunate deaths. Since before she could do much more than walk and talk, her relatives have dropped like flies; first her grandmother, then her great-aunt Maeve, and cousins, uncles, and finally, her father falls ill. Desperate to protect her family, she heads off to Miralyn Citadel, hoping their famed oracles can lift her curse.
On the way, she meets an unlikely friend, Mercury Silvertongue, the famed bard of Byralie. He's no stranger to bad luck, in fact, those around him often suffer the misfortune of a missing coin-purse. When he meets Tara, he knows she's the girl he's sung about since he was young. A song about a girl, her pure white goat, and the dead rising from the grave. Together, they seek help about Tara's curse, but she soon finds herself surrounded by enemies on all sides. How can she survive in a world bent on her destruction? How can she change her luck
