Fair
Um þessa hljóðbók
It is never easy growing up different, but when no one has looked like you in seven generations, social life can become quite difficult to manage. No enlightened elder would give heed to ridiculous superstitions such as “the blond curse” or “the fair maiden of the apocalypse”, nor will they believe that one glance from your clear green eyes can render cows barren, but… There’s always a but.
