The boat humans won’t notice me like this-won’t try to kill me. I feel the tug the nearest gives to their beard as they anxiously put down their cards, the slight splash of the lizard dipping into the river down-stream, and the landing of the parrot in the tree branches far above.īut the fishers don’t know I crouch so still that the murky water blends with the brown and black patterns along my half-snake body. The vibrations of their voices tingle across the patterned ridges along my scaly scalp. Three of them sit on the boat’s main deck, huddled around a table. The boat humans smell of oil and gunpowder, of arrogance and cowardice and anger, and a touch of fear. Tightening my serpentine tail around the roots of the half-submerged tree, I lift my head a little farther out of the water. With one stone, the pain still stalks just behind me, waiting to strike. But one lonely stone can be easily lost, easily taken. The ignit beneath my fingers pulses into my scales, primed to soothe whatever skull-shattering nonsense my body decides to throw at me today. But the gamblers have a yellow and a pair of small reds as well. Blue for thunder, like two of those in the pot. From the shade of the nearby mangroves, I grip the blue ignit on my wire necklace of precious stones. Five small variants of the round stones lie in the gambler’s pot, their slight glow barely visible beneath the cartel boat’s canopy. THE THRUMMING POWER OF the ignits calls to me. Banishment isn’t a curse if it means escaping all of you.

I was absolutely hooked and reached out about reading the full Heart of Mist book. I was blown away by the fact that Helen was able to make me care so much about everything to do with this world and Bleak in such a short amount of time. The world was beautiful, the writing was unlike any I had read, and I fell in love with Bleak. I had the opportunity to read two short stories that tie into the world of Heart of Mist back in June and absolutely loved them. The leader of an infamous society of warriors, the Valia Kindred, lays claim to her as well, and Bleak finds herself in the middle of a much bigger battle than she anticipated." Thank you to Helen Scheuerer for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for review! All opinions are my own. But the king isn’t the only one interested in Bleak’s powers. Still grieving the death of her guardian and dangerously self-medicating with alcohol, Bleak is snatched from her home by the Commander of the King’s Army, and summoned to the capital. From Goodreads: "In a realm where toxic mist sweeps the lands and magic is forbidden, all Bleak wants is a cure for her power. Insert the right needle into the knit stitch just to the left of the central purl stitch (cps).Īnd lift the knit stitch over the cps. Instead, slip them, so that the central purl stitch is the first on the needle. Once you are on the row where the big decrease happens, don’t knit the ribs. This photo looks a bit weird, but since ring cables do not have the “working row, resting row,” cadence of most cables, but can have cabling on two or three rows in a row, I can’t really apologize: I came to the decrease 5 in one stitch part on a “wrong side row.” Elsebeth Lavold uses a different method, someday I want to make a medallion combining the two techniques, based on a knot garden I saw: same pretty, no controversial boxwood smell. Barbara G Walker and Melissa Leapman both use this method for “capping a cable” AKA closing a ring design. Achteraf aanpassen kan altijd, bij ons privacybeleid.
