The Tenth Lady

The Tenth Lady is a story set in the Killdeer-verse, from Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day, Anne's third holiday collection. It is the story of Starsong, preparing for the Christmas performance along with Sundance and eight other Aelur girls (as well as ten boys). Starsong ends up having to make her way alone toward the performance grounds in the end, only to be confronted by one obstacle after another, and to miss the dance entirely. But has she ruined the dance, a gift for the baby Jesus...?
