The Crane Wife
Set in an abandoned village, how will two people fight to stay together when their worst enemy is the unknown and unseen that slowly infiltrates their livelihood. Excerpt: "What a beautiful voice you have," Ren said with a smile...................., "Even if someday I can't sing beautifully, if my voice has gone away, even then will you still love me?" "Of course I would," Ren said, laughing gently. And softly, his large hands caresses her cheek. DISCLAIMER!!!!!!!: This story was inspired by Hitoshizuku_Yamasankakkei's original song Feathers Across the Seasons. This is their version of the Japanese folklore The Crane Wife and I was inspired to write out a story and put in my own twist to it. If you give my book a chance I highly recommend listening to the song and reading the lyrics first because there are major lines in the story that I borrowed from the song lyrics because they were sweet and powerful lines. So I give credit to Hitoshizuku_Yamasankakkei's for being my inspiration and for the lyrics that I did use in my story.Complete

But trading one slave class for another doesn't help with the trouble that always seems to find her...
