Title: Sandry's Book (#1)

Author: Tamora Pierce

This book is a tale of 4 children:

Sanfrilene fa Toren:
Sandry is a noble. Short and sweet, thing is, she doesn't wanna be one. She has a nack for thread work, but, being a noble, she is only allowed to do embroidery and even then she is told she does too much. Then her semi-tragic live gets worse. Her parents die. One of two reasons: the plauge going around or the Mob. Yes, the mob. So after being locked in a storage room for uhh i don't know how long ^^' a man finds her. His name is Niklaren Goldeye. He takes her to Winding Circle Temple, after getting her and her Great Uncle's (the Duke of Elelan's) permission.

Briar Moss:
A thief known as Roach gets cought 3 times stealling, in this country's court sytem, theifs or lawbreakers in general are allowed 2 warnings, then sent to do hard labor, which in most cases killed off it's workers within 3 weeks. When he is being judged by the rich people of order (whom he calls "Bags") one steps forward and offers a spot at Winding Circle Temple. His name is Niklaren Goldeye. That's when Roach is told that he must have a last name and that this is his chance to change his name (he rather doesn't like Roach) thus, Briar Moss is born!

Daja Kisubo:
Born a Trader, she lived with her family on their trading ship. Traders are quite interesting people in these books. They have their own language (which Briar and Sandry can speak), their own god, and almost their own kind of religon. When her whole family die in a ship reck of the stormy seas, she starts to think she is going to die too after about a week goes by with no land or ship in sight. Lucky here comes a man in a ship, his name; Niklaren Goldeye. She is also judged, this time by the god of trade's standerds; she has become trangshi, or bad luck. With no where else to turn, Niklaren takes her to Winding Circle Temple.

and
Trisana Chandler:
Ahhh, good ol' Tris. She is a very snappy girl, she trusts hardly anyone, and she has a right to! All her life strage weather patterns happen around her co-exsiting with her emosions. She also could hear voices in her head. Her family, knowing this, thought she bad luck and insane so she was constantly being given to other family members until they tired of her and sent her on. So of course she doesn't believe he ears when a man by the name of Niklaren Goldeye tells her that at Seeing Circle Temple she will be exsepted. Reluctently, she agrees to go only because she has run out of relatives. The little hope she had was shattered, when the dedicates deside she's too much to handle. The girl then is offered to attend Winding Circle Temple, agreeing becuase, like i said, she had nowhere else. This time being told that Winding Circle dedicates could handle her, absolutely.

Now, they all end up meeting in Discipline Cottage after getting into some sort of trouble. Later to find that it doesn't mean discilpline as punishment but as...hmm I think I might give the whole book away. Sorry that's all you guys' are hearing, don't wanna spoil it for those who don't want it spoiled, but if you do, just PM me and I'll give you the intire thing, hopefully condiced. Well see ya!
