Description

A devastating sacrifice. A daring rescue. A new world of magic unveiled.

As a fourteen-year-old outsider girl in the Worker village, Isika is destined for endless drudgery, serving her priest stepfather and worshiping the four goddesses of the Worker people. She doesn't fit in and she hates the goddesses, but her mother is dead, and her three remaining siblings need her to be good and keep them safe. She can't think of anything beyond surviving each day and trying to avoid her stepfather's wrath.

Until he decides to sacrifice her youngest brother to the goddesses. And Isika decides that enough is enough.

She sets out on a journey to save her brother, facing an unknown world outside the walls of the Worker village. In the new world, ancient gifts awaken within her as she finds more beauty and more trouble than she could have imagined. To save her brother, she will have to trust the magical creatures and mysterious new friends who have come to guide her.

What's more, as she learns to love her new place in the world, she will have to learn to control magic that could be the key to her destiny and the fate of everyone around her.

Perfect for fans of Madeleine L'Engle, the Chronicles of Narnia, and Robin McKinley. Buy your copy to begin the adventure today!

    Very interesting story line. Enchanting characters. Loved the environmental descriptions as well. Best of all, the end was a true finish to a book, leaving one satisfied that all is right with the world. Well written enough that I most certainly want to continue with the rest of the books.
  • Love this book!

    This is about a unique magical world populated with relatable characters. Although a bit predictable, the world building pulled me in and the tension kept building at a perfect pace. A great start to the series.

    This has been such a joy to read! The story is captivating, and deals with the whole gambit of human emotions so well. The sorrow and the joy are felt as you read. I love that the hero is a young black girl, who grew up as an outsider. Must read!
