This is another one of the stories in the I Dhaerlend Dadui story!verse that has been gathering dust on my hard drive. In it, Mirwen finds pursuing a career as a stone and gem carver in Eldamar to be more difficult than she'd ever imagined, especially given her first instructor was not Elven. Direct sequel to "The Gift" and "Stone's Song".
