Ugh. I finally have time to write. 5 minutes in and I realize what’s wrong with my WIP. Stakes aren’t high enough.

“His leg’s hurtin’. Swears he can feel the pain, even though it’s amputated. Claims it itches too. It’s a mystery to me.”

For Josefa von Bandel, a nobleman’s daughter, her life on the quiet shores of the Bodensee is caught up in the dramatic changes sweeping across Europe—and in her own troubled life.
