Book 1: Jovai: The Vohee Song

Neither Jovai nor her people ever wanted her to be a shaman. Yaku Shaman won't let her be anything else. He forces Jovai to sacrifice every hope of the life she wants, until his people revolt against him. Barely escaping both her people and their enemies, rejected by the spirits, abandoned by her master, Jovai is left with nothing but her wits, alone in a war-torn world she barely understands. Targeted by enemies, both human and supernatural, Jovai's only chance to survive and, hopefully, to save the people she loves, may be to die.
