Description

Donyas daughter is known as "Jaellyn the Unlucky" -- clumsy, seemingly frozen in childhood, and cursed to foul up any magic in her vicinity. But when a series of strange and horrible murders in Allanmere seem to center around the handsome young priest courting her, Jaels talent for mayhem, and the secret surrounding her birth, may save the city.

I always loved this book and all the author's other stories. I wish she had written more books. Her characters are approachable and yet also wonderfully foreign. The land is just obscure enough to not be ours but also familiar enough to make it believable. I love her humor and her characterization.
A typical 1990s fantasy novel.
