TALISMA

BLURB:
Why did Kaja – a bearer of good fortune – suddenly run out of luck?
Shadow creatures lurk in the dark, one misfortune leads to the next, and her
fear of being claimed by the aristocrats increases by the hour. Furthermore,
she is torn between her seaman and the wild wood wanderer, before whom all
warn…
Can she escape her superior opponents? And how will her heart decide?

Excerpt One:
The gods obviously had lost their minds! Otherwise, such a
disaster would never have happened to the twins Kaja and Liana. It objected to
every law of nature! Nevertheless, on this fateful spring morning fifteen
summers ago, indescribable misfortune came over the two, although they were
considered bearers of good fortune from birth.
Kaja would never understand why, of all people, Liana
suffered such a fate. Her sister had always been the sunshine of the family.
She herself, however, had a lot of nonsense in her head and preferred to stray
through the streets of their hometown, Donn, with the other kids to play adult
pranks. A carefree seven-summer-old she floated through her life, grounded only
by Liana. In return, she always scattered the worries of her sister and
protected her from the unpleasant sides of the outside world.
On this terrible day Kaja longed to shield her sister, as
always. Panic threatened to overwhelm her and she almost choked with fear, but
she fought relentlessly against her mother, Namea, whose arms prevented her
from moving. She had to get to Liana and convince the crude footmen of the Earl
to take her instead of her twin sister! Liana didn’t deserve such a lot, and
Kaja knew it was her job to prevent it!
Kaja trembled with fear for her sister. She closed her eyes
and saw black spots blur Liana’s pastel-green contours. Despair and pain
darkened her view. Her heart was pounding. Panicked, she tore open her eyes and
watched through the narrow gap in the closet door as a fat, bearded bloke
abducted her sister.
