The small town of a cosy, happy little place - at least until recently. Now, violence explodes in the streets, rumours whisper in the dark, and people hang in the square. And no one knows why. No one - except Tikva. But what can a seven-year-old do against a tidal wave of hatred? Or against the strange flame-haired woman who rode into town on her jet-black horse? A richly imagined tale that demonstrates the power of love - no matter what the age. 2300 words historical fantasy
