Innkeeper's Song by Peter Beagle

This is the story of three women.

The first is brought back from the dead, and follows her saviour to adventure.

The second is seeking the sorcerer who trained her, who has disappeared without a trace.

The third is running from assassins and hiding her own deep secrets.

Three mysterious women, with their own power and stories. A missing sorcerer. A magical fox. A heartbroken fiance, a besotted stable boy, and an Innkeeper dealing with the strangest guests he has ever encountered.
