First Paragraphs of Chapter One
Dawn crept over the horizon slowly, taking time to spread its long, pale fingers over the world below it. The golden-pink light seeped through the cream-colored curtains covering Sierra Stormnet's bedroom windows. It shone on the 17-year-old's silvery-blonde hair. She turned over on her side, grumbling over the fact that she never got enough sleep. Crawling out of bed, she stumbled blindly over the the washbasin in the corner and dipped her hands in. She yelped and jumped back in shock. The water was ice-cold! Shivering, she dipped her hands back in and quickly washed her face and neck. As her hands grew numb with cold, she stripped and jumped into the bath waiting for her behind the screen near the basin. She scrubbed herself vigorously with lavendar-scented soap and plunged her head beneath the surface.

Climbing out of the tub, Sierra toweled off until her skin was bright pink. She knelt in front of her clothes trunk. It was a work of art, this trunk. Made of the silvery wood of a birch tree, it had carvings of the goddesses Lano and Sera, Lady of Storm and Judge of the Heavens. The sides were covered with copper swirls. She pulled out a white tunic and dark blue britches. Typing her long hair back with a matching sash, she grabbed up her bag and ran out the door.
