The Novice and the Missing Amulet
Chapter 4 · free to read
By seven in the morning the temple had one abbot, one broken staff, and two sets of his robes. Nobody could account for the second set, and everybody had a theory.
The temple's paper lived with a woman who had never once taken a vow and knew more about Wat Rung Kaew than every man on the hill combined.

The youngest novice in the temple gave his statement in eleven minutes and cried through none of it, which was somehow the worst part.
