Desolation Born

Kaya has spent her entire life struggling to meet the expectations that come with being daughter of the Chief, not to mention the uncharacteristic blue of her eyes and the strange sensations she gets whenever she's near the great river that separates her tribe from their enemy. When the enemy tribe's threats force them across the river, Kaya is thrown into a war that could wipe out her entire tribe. Determined to protect her people and save her closest friend, Kaya must survive in enemy territory, in an unfamiliar landscape, where every human and creature could be deadly. All the while, her own self-doubt continues to eat away at her spirit, and the great river continues to call to her, as if waiting to take her soul. The events that unfold could change Kaya forever, but with the death of her old self is born a power she never knew she possessed.
