Saving a people is hard enough. How do you save a god?
In the final book of the Fatecarver trilogy, Kalish’s magical power grows along with her influence. Her once rag-tag band of followers swells as clans fall to her mother’s strangling grasp. The rebellion she started becomes a full-scale insurrection bent on societal change.
As the powerful Fatewalker leading the uprising, Kalish is treated like a god—revered, feared. Her role pushes her further and further from her heart’s desires—a normal life, a home, family. She dreams of a day in the future when she will live in peace, with love.
But the god, Iskra, is depending upon her to save her people from greed—specifically her mother’s greed.
When her mother destroys Iskra’s last stronghold, Kalish must draw on every bit of her power to bring the god back. But her power alone isn’t enough, and resurrecting a god requires sacrifice. One that may cost her all her dreams.
Over the course of my career, I have been pleased to call myself an educator, entomologist, heritage interpreter, and an agroforestry extension agent, among other things. Through it all, I have written stories and poetry for my own pleasure. I published my first writing as a child in the 1970s, and used to confound my science teachers with poetry, scribbled at the end of essay questions. Now, after completing several novels, and having a number of short stories and poems published I'm happy to call myself an author. My first love was the natural world, and it plays a large part in most of my stories. I have been fortunate to be able to explore the outdoors in much of the eastern United States, Canada, Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Bolivia, Peru, and New Zealand. I currently live near Christchurch, New Zealand with my husband, two children, four goats, three chickens and one evil cat.
