A safe place.
A mother's love.
A forgotten child.
Maeve grew up despising the slave trade and everything it stands for. In the city of Caudor, she opens a tea shop where she and her husband, Alf, take in the people they manage to free. Each one carries a special place in Maeve’s heart, and she sees herself as a shepherd, and they, her lambs.
Talulla, the girl next door, has especially come to her attention. Talulla is thin, drawn, and dirty, and Maeve suspects the poor thing is being trafficked. Slowly, she sets out to win her trust.
Maeve's Lambs is a book in the Peoples of Wintenaeth series that takes place within the Cities of Wintenaeth Trilogy.
