Book description
Four years before the events of The Spirit Thief, Miranda Lyonette was
a young apprentice Spiritualist on the cusp of a promising career. But
on the eve of her return from bonding a wind spirit, a night that should
have been a celebration, she finds instead that her father has come to
take her home. Now, Miranda must choose between her duty to her family
and her future at the Spirit Court. But while she's trying to make her
parents see reason and avoid an arranged marriage to a man she can't
stand, she stumbled across the one one spirit who needs her more than
any other, a caged ghosthound who doesn't want her help. To save him,
Miranda will have to earn the dog's trust, but what she gets in return
is a friendship deeper than anything she expected. Rachel Aaron was
born in Atlanta, GA. After a lovely, geeky childhood full of books and
public television, and then an adolescence spent feeling awkward about
it, she went to the University of Georgia to pursue English Literature
with an eye towards getting her PhD. Upper division coursework cured her
of this delusion, and she graduated in 2004 with a BA and a job, which
was enough to make her mother happy. She currently lives in a 70s
house-of-the-future in Athens, GA with her loving husband, young son,
overgrown library, and small, brown dog.
