Tilla (slave girl) is planning to run away. Medicus (Ruso) is little by little falling in love with her. We have two or three dead slave girls. Ruso is sort of searching for the murderer. I've decided that this is a chick book. I'll make it through, hoping the murder stuff grows stronger . . . but this will be my last Downie book unless a dramatic change. I can't say I'm learning much about Britannia from any of this.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
