  Summary

  Haunted by a past she wished to keep buried, Marigold lived a solitary, nomadic life in the woods, wandering wherever her feet would take her, never making a foundation for herself.

  Now she's responsible for a group of tadpole-infested individuals when she could count on one hand how many humanoids she spoke to in the last decade. A group of mangy strays that trusted her only as far as they could throw an ox.

  A path to redemption and a road to damnation lay before her.
