A Home Of Shadows And Light – Tea Spangsberg

Anne nodded again. “He came to this town five years ago, and we literally bumped into each other when I was cashing in a bounty. And in true cheerful Bran fashion, he growled at me and promptly ignored me.” Lucy smiled a little at that. Then, the rest registered. “Wait, you’re a bounty hunter?” Most of the houses didn’t have much use for women other than as whores or wives.

She had never met a woman who was a fighter or worked as a bounty hunter. Anne tapped the scar on her face. “Didn’t get this baking cakes.” Lucy blushed. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean anything with it.” Anne laughed again, and something settled in Lucy.

She liked this woman who easily laughed. Not something she was used to in her life. “So, how did you end up with Bran?” “I had gotten myself in some trouble, and Bran was kind enough to help me while I figure out what to do with my life.” She hadn’t meant to share so much and frowned at her hands. Anne placed her hand over Lucy’s, and Lucy saw the scars on her knuckles and fingers.

“I’m sorry, it’s none of my business. We all have things in our pasts we don’t want to talk about.” All three puppies suddenly started to bark their heads off, and Anne stood from the table, her hand going under the apron and pulling a wicked- looking knife. The door opened, and Bran stepped inside. Lucy stood from the table, too, trying to see if there were any new wounds on him. Anne put the knife away and instead tried to shush the puppies. Bran stopped in front of Lucy and reached for her face but stopped before he touched her.

She broke away from his gaze and saw the torn-up knuckles. “Are they dead?” He shook his head. “I promised you they would live.” Lucy exhaled, then took his hand and put it against her cheek. “Thank you for protecting me again.”

Or at least that was the plan. But as often happens with plans, nothing went as expected, and instead of being a 20.000-word novella it ended up being a 54.000- word novel. Other than growing to twice the intended size, it also became the start of something wonderful… The World of Houses.

Because this is the beginning. The book that started it all. A Home of Shadows and Light happens 20 years before the trilogy starts, and is the story about Lucy, and how she managed to escape Midnight City and the abuse she went through at the hands of the Lords, with her 5-year-old daughter, Sofie.
