Two tribes camp near each other, the children play together and everything is peaceful until they are under attack. Not long afterwards everything lays devastated. There are some survivors, children. In another part of the desert, a child is banished from the tribe. As is the custom, the child is abandoned to die or survive alone. Another child is banished for going against the tribal leader. All these tribes have one thing in common, they are Matriachal and the men must serve. In the days to come, these children’s destinies are to be entwined. They must endure great hardships and overcome the problems of nature in order to become what they are destined to be. To become the fulfillment of a prophecy. Only faith in Yhn’Yhnay, the Moon Goddess can keep the children together.
GJ Woodrum has written a wonderful story, rich in description, with compelling characters. I really enjoyed this story and it held my attention throughout. At first, the reader follows the stories of the different children and their adventures and each chapter is about a different character, or set of characters. Yhnez and Sh’yhn are two of the most interesting characters in the story. Slowly, they all come together and meet. Although it’s about children, the reader will see how they have to come to terms in an adult world and grow up very quickly. GJ Woodrum doesn’t hold back on the hardships the children have to endure, or on their experiences. I really recommend this story and am looking forward very much to the next installment.***
