About this ebook
A devastating sacrifice. A daring rescue. A new world of magic unveiled.
As a fourteen-year-old outsider girl in the Worker village, Isika is destined for endless drudgery, serving her priest stepfather and worshiping the four goddesses of the Worker people. She doesn't fit in and she hates the goddesses, but her mother is dead, and her three remaining siblings need her to be good and keep them safe. She can't think of anything beyond surviving each day and trying to avoid her stepfather's wrath.
Until he decides to sacrifice her youngest brother to the goddesses. And Isika decides that enough is enough.
She sets out on a journey to save her brother, facing an unknown world outside the walls of the Worker village. In the new world, ancient gifts awaken within her as she finds more beauty and more trouble than she could have imagined. To save her brother, she will have to trust the magical creatures and mysterious new friends who have come to guide her.

The story is fabulous! I'm really enjoying the world and the characters. The author has done an excellent job world building. The first two books could use a good arc or beta reader to smooth out some grammar, typos, run on sentences, etc. It's not as bad as some I've read. It's still worth reading. I noticed steady improvement in everything except the run-on sentences from book 1 to 3. I'm starting book 4 now.

I absolutely loved this story and narrative . It created a beautiful world through which I explored and experienced the twists and turns in a brilliantly crafted immersive story . I can't wait to read the other books in this series . A totally gripping delight which I long to savour and taste more of ❤️
