Publisher's Synopsis
Trails 4: Mines
Pair 2, Book 2
Time: 210 years in the future
Klapit mine abandoned to the ghosts. Shelpit mine nearly empty after half a generation. The orphans are now adults, struggling to find a future in Shells.
Corandra feels her ancestors have cursed her. Which seems to be proven when she digs up a box in a forbidden location that brings a devastating illness to the villa.
Rusty fears her future as the dig leader is at stake because the mine she found as a child is now empty. With no practicable skill, she has no guaranteed place among the villa.
Ambrena's foster sister/mother Tanna fears Tanna's daughters will replace her as apprentice healer in the villa. Leaving her alone, adrift, without a purpose.
Rusty and Ambrena believe they have been truly banished when they are sent together to find Corandra's mother, to bring their wayward fellow orphan sister home to Shells.
