Sundown, Sunrise (Cities of the Land and Sky) (Volume 1)

War is coming, and soon it will spread across all the land. The cold and calculating Inhabitants desire the spiritlands of the Ge, a tribal people whose strange customs set them apart from their neighbors. As the conflict grows, it entangles three young people, altering the course of their lives forever. Two Ge, Gulumethwe and Calurframa, fight back as their friends and family are ravaged by the violence of war. Traveling across cultures and boundary lines, they are both willing to sacrifice everything for a solution that will save their people. In the land of the Inhabitants, Iro-Become-Pir is on the cusp of womanhood. After spending her entire life in the Region, where the children govern the nation, she’s cast out to live among the adults. Separated from all she’s ever known, Iro-Become-Pir is caught up in the horrors of a war she helped to start. And underneath it all, behind the death and destruction, there are greater forces at work. Change is in the air, bringing with it a mystery that must be unraveled before time runs out.
