A witch with a destiny.
Allâs fair in war and magic.
Raised in an isolated Kota village, VedanleÊ uses her gifts to draw magic from the ancient lands of her coastal home. The Clan Eldress, the most powerful woman in the village, has a vision about the prophesied Woman of the Void â a woman destined to wield unfathomable power. To her surprise, VedanleÊ is named as this woman.
Then Thurston Olander, Lord High Commander of the Dominion global empire, comes to fulfill an old custom. The women of the clan uncover a whole new danger, and VedanleÊ must go with Thurston to ensure their safety.
Living in the Dominionâs technologically advanced world, VedanleÊâs power over the void grows as she discovers the science behind her magic.  But she lives in fear, for Thurston is not what he seemed.
Will she ever become the Woman of the Void? Escape is her only option, but where will she ever be safe in Thurstonâs empire?

Sunshine Somerville lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She self-published her first book in college in 2004 and has been evolving The Kota Series since she was nine, basing the story on childhood fantasies derived from watching too much X-Men and Star Wars and reading too much Chronicles of Narnia and A Wrinkle in Time. Besides writing, her creative outlets include painting and making feature-length, spoof movies.
She would like to point out that, yes, this is her real name.
