A baker chosen for an honorable and prestigious assignment must contend with a rival who was not chosen.
Genre: Mystery, Fantasy
Excerpt:
Four nations warred. And they warred. And they warred. And some
suppose that they might be war-ring still if not for the firm but
humble interference of a fifth nation. Mensulamare was a lengthy
name for such a small nation. “The Little Table in the Sea” it was
called, for the isle floated in one of the world’s vast oceans,
surrounded by four nations much greater in size and power, and much
fiercer in fury. The leaders of the four nations despised each
other, but there was one for whom they had enough respect and
admiration—even affection—to come together for talks of a truce.
Perhaps it was time.
What’s the Word (that inspired the story)?
Piecemeal:
piece by piece; one piece at a time; gradually
Peace: the nonwarring condition of a nation, group of nations, or
the world.
