Fatma's Revenge (Noorstone)

A hunted and tormented girl is she, playing the flute in the quiet ‎villages of Four Valleys. Then came the Jadu, bent on raising strife in the ‎county and Fatma finds that she had better play other instruments; ‎maybe bring a tune from her bow or hear the whistle as her sword ‎cleaves the air; and other things too. She faces the cunning of the Jadu; ‎who manages to have her cast out of the Four Valleys, to face almost ‎certain destruction in the Desolation; but help is at hand for the Silver ‎Flute and the hunted girl. Earl Daar’salaam isn’t perfectly certain of her ‎guilt; old Saleem the Fox has a few chords he can play on her behalf. ‎Even Zaheer the Ranger; he may not be a musician but there are other ‎tunes to be had. ‎ The Jadu has many in his band and they can play much louder ‎than the beleaguered army of the Four Valleys; there are Ghul and ‎qu’ufaars and wild men all willing to sing along; and maybe the ‎Desolation Dragon is good for a decisive final chord. It seems all to the ‎good that Fatma the Minstrel isn’t just a musician but in the end her ‎silver flute is the most potent of all her weapons.‎
