    About this ebook

    Anwyn hated Delbhana Siobhan. The worst thing she could imagine was spending time with her.

    So going to the Delbhana's big party in their new park on the river was a horrible, no-good idea that she didn't get to veto.

    Even with pastries and her twin brother Cadfael at her side, Anwyn didn't know if she could keep from punching Siobhan right in the nose.

    Or escape getting punched, either.

      Why do we have to go to their stupid park? Anwyn demanded for the fourth time.

      Annie, Mother said in her second most seriously warning tone of voice. Quit it.

      But why? Anwyn insisted. You hate the Delbhana Clan, Mother! I hate them. The whole family hates them. Why do we have to go to celebrate some big park they set up?

      She waved her hands at her Uncles who were busy packing carts full of baskets with food, blankets and several big tents so that they wouldn't all be sunburned by the end of the day. Mother groaned, rubbing her forehead before glaring down at Anwyn. She had that expression that said 'I'm glad that you're a smart girl but do you have be so smart right now?' All around them Anwyn's aunts shouted orders and hefted the things that her uncles couldn't lift. It was like loading a ship before it sailed only they were going out of the city to the new park that Siobhan's stupid grandmother had ordered built.

      If it was any other family besides Siobhan’s family, Anwyn would have gone willingly. The chance to get away from her lessons and training would be wonderful. But it wasn't. Siobhan was a brat and a horrible bully. Anwyn knew that this was going to be horrible, even if her mother refused to admit it. As Anwyn and her mother glared at each other, Anwyn's oldest sister, Gwen, tugged at her sleeve, trying to get her to come along with the other kids in the family to their cart. Anwyn shrugged her off.

      Okay, let's go over this for the fourth and final time. Mind, the only reason you're getting another run-through is this is part of your business lessons, girl, Mother said. This time the glare was serious enough that Anwyn knew she couldn't get away with asking anything else or else her butt would be spanked so hard that she wouldn't sit down for days. The Delbhana Clan are bragging about the new park. It's stupid. We all know it's stupid. Frankly, the whole damned city knows that it's stupid. The park is going to flood and wash away as soon as the spring rains make the river rise. But they're making it out to be a big deal and saying they gave the city a huge present. All they did was block the flow of the river and hide the City of the Ladies behind their stupid dirt mounds. Us attending is pure politics.

      I got that part, Anwyn said impatiently. "It's a big whoopa-whoopa party and the Delbhana are spending tons of money on it. Why are we going though? We don't need to go to their
