Plot summary

Frostflower and Thorn is a novel in which the warrior Thorn seeks to end her unwanted pregnancy but instead meets the sorceress Frostflower, who offers to accelerate the process in exchange for the child. While Frostflower solves Thorn's dilemma, she now faces suspicion — sorceresses with infants are assumed to be kidnappers. To protect herself and the baby, she hires Thorn as a bodyguard and sets out for Windslope Retreat. Their troubles escalate when Frostflower accidentally witnesses a farmer's ritual, leading to accusations that she stole the baby. Thorn rescues her, but the two become fugitives, constantly evading capture.[1]
