For six years, Aisling MacCorra has made herself indispensable to Dunrath Keep the only way a woman without clan or protection can: by being useful. As the keep's bean-fhiosach, its knowing woman, she reads the fire for a chief who values her sight and never quite lets her forget how easily that value could be withdrawn. She has learned to keep her visions steady, her opinions quiet, and her heart very carefully behind glass.
