The Secrets of the Vanmars
(Argetallam Saga #2)
After
her adventures with the Key of Amatahns, sixteen-year-old Janir
Caersynn Argetallam returns home to find Brevia on the brink of war with
a neighboring country, Stlaven. Her foster-father and even Saoven—a
brave young elf warrior—think it will be safe at the castle where Janir
grew up. However, while trying to unravel a looming mystery,
Karile—self-taught wizard and Janir’s self-appointed best friend—becomes
certain that there is danger in the mountains surrounding Janir’s
childhood home and that it has something to do with Stlaven’s most
powerful family, the Vanmars…
MY TEASER:
Saoven caught her and wrapped his arms around her. Janir sobbed into his shoulder, feeling helpless. What could she possibly do if the Argetallams found out she was here? What would the Argetallams do? She knew the spy needed to be stopped from returning to report, but he had to be found first.
There was something comforting about Saoven holding her. If only for a little while, she felt safe. Janir drew a deep breath and closed her eyes, resting her forehead on his chest.
Saoven caressed her hair and tenderly murmured a low phrase in Elvish. “Te valde amo ac semper amabo.”
Janir’s eyes flew open. She may not have been fluent, but her Elvish was good enough that she knew what he had said. What was she supposed to do? She scrambled her brain for what to say in reply and then she realized , Saoven didn’t know that she had understood. He kept stroking her hair and holding her as if nothing had been said. Janir decided to pretend that she hadn’t understood the Elvish.
