Claws (Tales from the world of the Noble Dead Saga #10; Homeward VII)

Each autumn, Jan awaits his aunt and uncle’s arrival, so that he can leave with them and enjoy a season on the open road in freedom, earning his keep with his violin. Julianna isn’t looking forward to his absence, and then Jan’s mother asks her to accompany Jan in traveling with their family of the Móndyalítko, the “world’s little children.” Julianna has never set foot outside her home village, but she is eager if a little wary to see more of the world among this strange traveling people. Jan finds a new joy in showing her that world as his buried feelings for her begin to resurface. But when the family reaches their first stop to perform, a bizarre series of attacks suddenly plagues the townspeople. Jan’s ever-traveling family is instantly suspected. In their separate ways, Jan and Julianna throw themselves into growing danger as they strive to find the true culprit. Julianna soon discovers the source of these horrors might too close to the suspicions of the townspeople... close enough that it may be too late to save herself or Jan.
