Fear the Wind (Heed the Wind Series Book 3)

Description

Pregnant and accused of high treason against the crown, an appointment with the gallows looms ever closer. But Staletta’s accuser will stop at nothing to see that she and her brothers, the white chimps from Ireland, are dead. Like crows coming to steal the harvest, assassins are at her door . . .

Desperation drives Staletta to flee to the countryside for protection, but when her undefeated and corrupt defense lawyer commands her to lie at the trial in order to win, she fires him. With no one to defend her, the black wings of the crows enfold her and the assassins strike again. If justice cannot prevail over corruption, the court will condemn her to the gallows and all hope of raising the child in her womb will be lost forever.
