Dorovan let her go and he heard her laughter ring as he took Marantha to him.
Marantha, the other part of his soul, who would love him, always, throughout all the long years.
There was magic enough for this.

About the author
As an old favorite author used to say “I’m five foot two, blonde-haired and blue eyed, the rest is subject to change without notice.” Currently Valerie is happily ensconced in the wilds of central Ohio farm country with two dogs, two cats and an African clawed frog for company as she writes. The frog doesn’t say much. You can contact her through her webpages:
