Silk Gift

Her life quieted, barely igniting, long before birth. Torn by another's hand, it became merely an existence among other lost souls. By fate, he was destined to be a healer, capable of tackling any illness. But the smooth line was interrupted by a knot tied by one who should not have touched his thread. Constantly stumbling and straying from the drawn path, Karin met the very soul that should not have emerged from the forest. Yet he found her, led her out, warmed her, and, acting against what he was taught, gave her a second chance. Drawing attention to his gift and attracting misfortune to himself. Disobeying the will of the gods.
