"Tao is an immigrant fortune teller\,
traveling between villages with just her trusty mule for company. She onl
y tells 'small' fortunes: whether it will hail next week\; which boy the b
armaid will kiss\; when the cow will calve. She knows from bitter experien
ce that big fortunes come with big consequences&hellip\; Even if it&rsquo\
;s a lonely life\, it&rsquo\;s better than the one she left behind. But a
small fortune unexpectedly becomes something more when a (semi) reformed t
hief and an ex-mercenary recruit her into their desperate search for a los
t child. Soon\, they&rsquo\;re joined by a baker with a 'knead' for advent
ure\, and&mdash\;of course&mdash\;a slightly magical cat. Tao starts down
a new path with companions as big-hearted as her fortunes are small. But a
s she lowers her walls\, the shadows of her past close in&mdash\;and she&r
squo\;ll have to decide whether to risk everything to preserve the family
she never thought she could have."-- Provided by publisher.
