Description
Just before Tatiana sets off to start a new life of deprivation, her insightful uncle helps her grapple with the meaning of life and to come to grips with a world where people betray over a fickle, and where the quest for self-gratification supersedes reasoning.
Hunger Fire precedes The Grandmothers and it is the forerunner to The Fire and Ice Legend in the short stories collection entitled The Shades of Fire.
