Still, she continues to forge ahead, her way of life gradually inspiring change around her. The feast in celebration of spring is drawing near, and there’s much for Rozemyne to do. The coming weeks bring a long-overdue meeting with the lower-city merchants, more divine protections rituals, the education of the next High Bishop... and a magnificent tale told at the closed country gate.
