All eighteen-year-old Ri wants is to cure her adoptive father Samuel from his hallucination-inducing illness. Everyone in her village tells her it's impossible. But when she meets two newcomers in the forest—a gruff rogue with a vendetta against the gods and a charming fugitive with the power to travel through water—she'll be torn away from Samuel and swept across the sea to an oppressed city governed by a ruthless tyrant. Once there, she'll not only have to confront Samuel's unlawful past, but a vicious evil that threatens all mankind.
In this tale of bravery, friendship, and unexpected love, Ri must discover her own strength to save the men she cares for.

First, a little about myself
I'm a YA Fantasy Author who's a big fan of stories with strong female leads that have lots of grit. Though I grew up in a small town nestled in the hazy valleys that outskirt Appalachia, today you'll often find me jotting down story ideas in a Chicago cafe. What's that? You'd like to learn more about me?
