Thief's Covenant (A Widdershins Adventure) - Plot & Excerpts
Adrienne complained to the young man who all but dragged her along, his right hand clamped firmly on her left. “When are you ever sure of anything anymore, Adrienne?” came the gruff response. “Now pick it up, would you? We'll be late if I have to haul you the whole way.” “Maybe we should be,” the girl muttered, though she did, finally, allow herself to be rushed. At thirteen now, give or take, Adrienne was beginning to shed the awkwardness of childhood. She was trim rather than scrawny, though meals remained a hit-or-miss proposition at best. Various escapes from angry “patrons” and Guardsmen had made her faster, more agile, even bestowed a bit of skill with the rapier that had hung at her side for the last two years. Though she'd snatched it with the firm intention of selling it—and had viciously berated herself for not doing just that, on many a cold and hungry night—she couldn't bear to part with it. If nothing else, it was something to impress the other street thieves with (even if she'd also had to use it to fight a few of them off, from time to time).
