Beneath the Manor

A person starts hearing their pet’s thoughts and discovers a dark secret…

That was the writing prompt I got a few weeks ago at a writers’ group. I didn’t like this story when I first wrote it, but quite like the rewrite. (But then, I am an awful first-drafter, and maybe tomorrow I’ll hate it.) In any case, I am posting it in hopes that someone out there will like it!

"So disappointed it hurts.

I was looking forward to another book in the vein of Uprooted and the Winternight trilogy, but Katherine Arden/Naomi Novik this was not.

“Hey, now , enough of that.” Wyeth shook her again, gentler this time, then ducked his head and peered under the curtain of hair she was hiding behind. “Have faith in yourself, Saige. You can live your own life.”
“But what if I make a right fine royal mess of it?”
Wyeth chuckled . “That’s the beauty of it – you never know where your decisions are going to take you, but that’s the adventure of life.”
