Athame (The Kulhn Trilogy Book 1)

The Dark Forest of Kulhn is an ideal refuge for those who want to avoid the attention of the powerful, as long as the refugee has plenty of silver, garlic, cold iron, wolfsbane, etc. Jessera wasn't looking for trouble. She just wanted to make an honest living and not get hanged for witchcraft.. She didn't expect to encounter a lost nobleman while she was running her fur traps. Peteros was city born and bred. He just wanted to finish his mission and get home alive. He never expected to encounter a lovely maiden with a skinning knife while he was running from a werewolf. For a generous reward Jessera agreed to guide him home. But days and nights of sharing danger and campfires surprised both of them with something that neither had expected. When they finally reached the city Jessera quickly learned that nothing in the woods, whether alive or undead, could match the evil of royal politics. Fortunately, they had a secret weapon.

From the Inside Flap

A ragged section of wall fell into the room, along with the acrid smell of broken stone. Through the gap, a blacker piece of the night moved and moaned. He grabbed a of burning wood and held it like a shield. "Good idea." Jess glared with narrow eyes at the shattered wall. "There ain't nothing that runs in the night that likes fire." "You fought these before?" Peteros asked. "Nope." Jess said. "Never really seen one. Don't know anyone who has and lived to tell it."

From the Back Cover

The Southern Forest of Kulhn...Is a perfect refuge for witches on the run from the northern temples. Witches such as Jessera, a young woman wise in the ways of survival. A chance meeting led Jessera to a young nobleman, lost in the woods. But the man she called Pete was much more than he appeared. Before she knew it, they were being chased by royal assassins and temple witch hunters. Loving a prince wasn't quite the way the old fairy tales described.
