Here’s a rough idea of what you can expect…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGiant water-ants hunt anything that moves on the lake. Immense wyann trees search the shallows to spear passing prey with their roots. Sala\u2019s village survives hidden behind a wall of poisonous ivy, because everyone agrees: <\/em>don\u2019t go onto the lake.<\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
But when her village refuses to stop squeezing beautiful pond-bred \u2018keeiling\u2019 fish to death for their precious saliva oils, Sala will risk it all to prove herself one last time, else leave everything behind for the dark shaded swamps beneath the towering hillfarms of Palude. <\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
At least that\u2019s the plan before an unusual comet crosses the night sky, throwing her and her pet pointer into a race through carnivorous swampland, where Sala will unearth long-hidden truths, discover a stranger with unusual powers, and stir rivalries into a terrifying conflict set to change the world of Palude forever. Sala must do whatever it takes to face the truth of who she is: to save her village, to save her loved ones, to save herself.\u201d<\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

|<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Woo hoo! I love my main character, Sala. She’s relentless in pursuing a life-long commitment to staying true to herself, and I can’t wait for you to meet her!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big thanks to publishing director Anna Solding for signing this novel, you rock!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
