Pages : 296
Book Description
When young Báisè Liánhuā Yuènǚ talks her father into buying a slave, Eyingqayizivele, it's because, with her variegated coloring, the poor girl reminds Báisè of a pet magpie she used to own, so Báisè names her Qué, and undertakes to turn her into her ideal personal servant. As she teaches Qué (Che'er) to speak her language and to take care of her every need, the last thing Báisè (By-suh) expected was to fall in love with her, much less find herself on the run from her family rather than allow the pair of them to be separated and Qué to be sold again. Alone and traveling across the continent of Temmeland, the pair discover love and a bond no man can break, but will they survive the journey to Eyingqayizivele's home village, and if they do, will her family accept this woman who once bought the youngest family member at a slave auction?
