'I lack the skill,’ Leukos said, ‘to draw my mind's image clean on the bone.’
Volpo fingered the lines of an adder. 'They have a rough beauty, your images.’
Bhòid heard something taut in Volpo’s silky voice, like a line with a fish on the end of it.

26. This is more relavent to the north, but Lumivuora exists because their founder preached the gods had abandoned them. This led, to put it mildly, to some shit. Oh, and their queen is supposedly immortal and there are no men at all. The usual. #NovemberWorldbuilders #writingcommunity #writesky
#NovemberWorldbuilders Heya, friends! In your fictional world, are there any lies or conspiracy theories (or maybe just incorrect beliefs) about a historical event? Is the government of your (fictional) world hiding anything? Please keep it fictional! No real-world stuff here, please!

I'd say The Secret Garden, but others will think of that. How about Mary Grant Bruce's Billabong books with a great sense of rural Australia in early C20, great books of their time.

26. For this one, I have to go with Mansfield Park, which is actually my favorite Austen for this reason. The comparison of country and city, the way locations reveal so much about character and drive the plot foward, is what I love so much about it. #Bookvember #writingcommunity #writesky

Bracing herself, Sulaire placed her foot under Sagart’s armpit, grasped her wrist with both hands, and pulled. Sagart screamed in rage and pain, but Sulaire pulled harder, heard a grating sound, felt the shoulder go back into its socket.

‘You’re closer to the Goddess than Sagart is. Surely the gods don’t care about rank, or even the Custom. They care about the heart. Sagart might stop you making the ceremonies, but she can’t take away your healing power.’

As soon as his strength returned, he joined in the work, tending Menn’s plot of the strange einkorn grain that made a sweeter, softer porridge than hazelnuts.

As the crescent moon dipped towards the west, Sulaire pulled a sharp stick from the fire. She sketched the shape of the Sky Gannet rising on the sand––three stars for the head, the brightest one for the eye, two fainter triangles for the outstretched wings.
