The She Who Reaches High Series continues in The Curse of Lore.

“In the beginning, they are only ever what they are called. 

Then the teller tells the tale, and in so doing, shapes it to her need. With every repetition, an alteration, until it becomes a thing wilder than she who speaks it.

A thing she can no longer control, writhing from her grip.

Turning to bite her on the cheek.”

The Curse of Lore is a short collection of vignettes from the world of She Who Reaches High.

Miervaldis of House Rezke takes the Living Memory from his dying father and becomes the Owl-Eyed Chieftain. Ramanus II of House Karsu considers the woman he will make his Chieftainess in uncertain times. And Aemilie makes a sacred vow to Kurat, now Chieftain of Est, fulfilling her oath to Liama and sealing her fate.

The Curse of Lore is designed to be read after Snake Wife and before River Woman in the She Who Reaches High series.
