Toads and Diamonds BSY524

US$12.95

Diribani has come to the village well to get water for her family's scant meal of curry and rice. She never expected to meet a goddess there. Yet she is granted a remarkable gift: Flowers and precious jewels drop from her lips whenever she speaks.

It seems only right to Tana that the goddess judged her kind, lovely stepsister worthy of such riches. And when she encounters the goddess, she is not surprised to find herself speaking snakes and toads as a reward.

Blessings and curses are never so clear as they might seem, however. Diribani's newfound wealth brings her a prince―and an attempt on her life. Tana is chased out of the village because the province's governor fears snakes, yet thousands are dying of a plague spread by rats. As the sisters' fates hang in the balance, each struggles to understand her gift. Will it bring her wisdom, good fortune, love . . . or death?

百城之国第十邦,蛇之女神娜格哈莉大人赐给一对姐妹吉凶难料的“祝福”。姐姐塔娜开口说话,会吐落蟾蜍和毒蛇。妹妹迪丽芭妮开口说话,会吐落宝石和鲜花。
女神的考验让姐妹俩背井离乡,前往未知的远方。迪丽芭妮要领略宝石光芒和鲜花芳香背后的凶险,塔娜则要弄清楚为何蟾蜍和毒蛇会让她成为众人期盼的希望。
这是一场关乎智慧和生死的考验,迪丽芭妮和塔娜,究竟会交出怎样的答卷?
