She may have escaped, but she isn't yet free.
It's been nearly a week since Anami Kalima escaped her own ritual murder, but now, wounded and captured by a band of desert nomads, she's not sure her situation has much improved.
But the Hyte are more than they first seemed, especially their healer, who discovers that Kalima has a useful affinity for magic, and the band leader's sister, who is awakening in Kalima feelings she's never felt before. The world beyond the river is far more wonderful and dangerous than she'd ever imagined -- and she doesn't know if she has the courage to face it.

This was the book that caused my Thanksgiving 2015 Descent Into Madness. You can read about the lessons I learned from writing it here.
