The Gifts of Asti
Andre Norton
Book Overview:
Varta, the last priestess of Asti, lives alone with Lur, a telepath of the lizardfolk, in Asti's isolated mountain retreat. Decadent Memphir has long since drifted away from the austere paths of Asti, and now the barbarians of Klem are sacking the city, and the smoke of its burning drifts up to the temple.
Recommended for fans of Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin.

There were supplies here too, lying untouched in ageless containers within a lizard-skin pouch. Varta touched her tongue without fear to a powdered restorative, sharing it with Lur, whose own mailed skin would protect him through the dangers to come.

Review of a "Teaser"
The story line is good. The fact that it is but the first chapter of a (much?) Longer story is disappointing. However, what was available has my curiosity tweaked. I look for the whole story....more
A story by grand master Andrea norton.
The really short does an excellent job of delineation for an entire world. This is a real challenge for a science fiction writer who writes in the short form. A basic plot of boy meets girl.
not a bad story. It has about as much depth as I expect in such a short story.
Another Classic Science Fiction story from Andre Norton, Love the old Sci-Fi.
