The Telling

“As long as you wear the amber, we are all safe….”

After the bloody battle of the Crimean War has finally ceased, Le Capitaine Jean-Claude du Mont, a French soldier, injured and alone, is rescued by a gypsy named Kataryna, who nurses him to recovery. Suffering from amnesia, Jean-Claude tries to piece together exactly who he is—but in the meantime he discovers he has fallen in love with the woman who saved his life.

As a token of his appreciation, Jean-Claude gives Kataryna his amber pendant, which has been in his family for years—and also has a mysterious origin and powers.

The Telling is full of mystery and intrigue—a real page-turner for the true adventure seeker.
