At dawn on the spring equinox, when the natural world is in balance and fully engaged in regeneration, Epona, guardian of those moving in and out of life, meets Ostara taking colored eggs and baked goods to their friend Freya at the time of her child's birth. Once the baby arrives, Ostara returns to the forest for a private reunion with one who patiently waits there only for her. Standing well on its own, this story is the fourth in a series to mark Earth holidays. Taking place in the birch grove first introduced in the award-winning Blood Moon, it offers a peek at the charming Little People of Yule at My Feet, and follows the magical events of Midwinter Guest.
