Excerpt:
The starry-eyed youth named Carson cast his gaze at the full moon. His father had just cursed it, or rather, he had cursed those who dwelt upon it.

\\u201cA storm is coming,\\u201d his father said, gazing up at the low and looming clouds. \\u201cA storm with high winds.\\u201d

Yet another storm, the fourth one in as many days.

\\u201cSoon it will storm day and night,\\u201d his father said. And then he raised a fist to the full bright moon and shook it.

Moonbroch: \\u201cThis is an old word from the far north of Scotland for a hazy halo of cloud around the moon at night that was supposedly a sign of bad weather to come.\\u201d
