Esta does not give much thought to taking the young owlet home. She can raise it; of that she is sure. The people of her village, on the other hand, find that this confirms what they always thought. The strange girl who seems able to understand what others are thinking and feeling can also tame the wild. The daughter of the local midwife and healer, Esta is seen as something special and perhaps other. It is concluded that she must be a creature of the night, shrouded in whispers of superstition, witchcraft, and magic. Rumors swell to the point of peril, and for Esta, to the point of pain. Tragedy befalls her village with the arrival of outsiders who search for “the seer,” but no one knows to what end. Yes, Esta has been gifted with abilities she has tried hiding from others. Now that her secret is out, she is determined to follow her own fate, on her own terms, deriving power from compassion and insight rather than physical strength alone.
Etta's Lessons begins with a mystery. In the early 1550s, Brigetta Rolland has a secret. But her actions soon have her father, Lord Rolland, looking into her behavior. When her secret comes out, Rolland can only guess at the reasons for his sheltered daughter's involvement. Brigetta is rocked to her very foundation when her beloved father is murdered and she is thrust into a world she knows little about. Etta finds herself on the run with her handmaiden and her father's first knight. After several months, she realizes that she is also on the run for her own future and perhaps for the lives of all around her. Understanding for the first time the politics and the religious battles that rage around her, Etta is determined to have some control over her future. Learning about life outside the walls of her father's keep, Brigetta forms strong bonds with those who hold her fate in their hands. She falls in love with a brave and honest young knight. When the opportunity to place herself before young King Edward presents itself, her guardians put their lives on the line to get Etta an audience with the king. Just as all seems to be lost, King Edward's decree rights the world again. But his gift becomes a curse, and Brigetta once again runs away, this time ending up in the hands of the enemy.
