Chapter 9: Natan sighed as he left Lillybet's house.
Poor Natan Mayor. It's his job to keep Sacred Spring together. The last thing he needs is to have to deal with family as well. Traditionally, mayors do not marry. Their lives are dedicated to serving their village. A family would only be a distraction.
But what about the drama of a family into which you were born? Both Natan Mayor and Lillybet Weaver's parents are dead (as is Lillybet's husband). For the longest time their family had consisted of brother and sister.
Now that Adrastea has picked up an unwanted suitor, Natan is torn between doing what's best for his niece, and doing what's best for Sacred Spring. What might happen if those two goals do not align?
