Forsaken

Caverna had far too many secrets, but the twisted vines of the jungle tend to hold their skeletons just as close to their chest. 

At last reaching the sunlight, Kiara and Hadyn soak in every ray, struggling to believe even their own senses, but the journey is far from over. 

Kiara thought her biggest problem was escaping Caverna, but the wide open world of the surface might not be as free as it seems, not to mention, it's bigger and stranger than she could have ever imagined; what unfolds after they are inexplicably drawn to a curious jungle village proving far stranger than even the rainforest itself. Bathed in all its blue fire, the vivid nocturnal life of Tykaraijre contrasts the somber, strict diligence of its days, its people and chief a greater puzzle still.

Hadyn's distrust rears its head, to the point that Kiara wonders if he even trusts her, while she on the other hand is all but swept up in fascination and curiosity for the village. 

Jealousies and suspicions abound when new faces drive wedges between their friendship and far too many unanswered questions begin to build up, but before Kiara realizes something's not right, a nagging illness warrants more concern, impeding their journey's progress.

Her ambitions were greater than falling into yet another prison, but what do you do when the world's so big, it makes you feel smaller than you ever thought you were?
