The Teller of Small Fortunes
Tao travels from village to village telling small fortunes, deliberately avoiding prophecies large enough to attract dangerous attention. A former mercenary and a reformed thief join her road after a fortune offers hope of finding a missing child. Their growing fellowship challenges Tao's habit of keeping every relationship temporary. Gentle and hopeful, this cozy fantasy makes a lovely travel-day read about found family, food shared on the road, modest magic, and the courage to let a wandering life acquire companions.
