Description
When Rydara’s people reject her, will she find a way to save them anyway?
When Rydara, the mixed-race bastard daughter of a tribal king, finds out that the queen of a neighboring country is murdering tribespeople in dark magic rituals, her father refuses to believe her and banishes her to avoid the risk of war. She and her loyal brother Aander strike out through a desert wasteland to seek the fabled land of elves and dragons, where they hope to find magic strong enough to defeat the queen. But even if they find the elves, how will Rydara convince them to save a tribe of prejudiced, short-sighted humans? Are her people worth saving--and if so, how much is Rydara willing to sacrifice?

Advance Praise
Fantasy the way it should be: careful world-building, consistent magic, beloved elements, new twists, noble heroes, convincing villains, and a lot of fun along the way. I hope this is only the first of many from Peterson!
