Adventures in the Liaden Universe #20
Moon's Honor
A faction of renegade priestesses is seeking to circumvent the Dyan City High Priestess to outlaw "hedge magicians." Their reason is that such "bogus magic" confuses the simple, and diverts awe and respect that ought to be reserved for the true magic worked by priestesses in the name of the Goddess.
Meanwhile, Master Magician Lute arrives in Dyan City on Beltane Eve, driven there by the will of the Goddess.
Is he a sacrifice? Or is he the Hammer of the Goddess?
A novelette detailing a first meeting between Moonhawk, a priestess of the Goddess, and Lute, a traveling magician.

3 stars.
The authors said this was originally written as sample chapters to try and sell a Lute and Moonhawk novel to the publishers. It gives an alternative story of how Lute and Moonhawk first met and why Moonhawk became Lute's apprentice. This version seems much kinder to Moonhawk than the other story "Fellow Travelers" in which Moonhawk was actually cast out of the Circle.

The backstory of Lute and Moonhawk.

The story was ok, but it ended too abruptly for my tastes. I wanted the female protagonist's reaction to her new situation, and the male protagonist's reaction as well.
On re-reading the series I gave this one a hard pass once I realized it features Moonhawk and Lute. I can’t stand the culture of their stories.
