Mahalia (The Yeshuhain Chronicles Book 1)

From the author of the Light & Shadow Trilogy…

Headstrong and defiant, Mahalia spends her days in the gilded cage of a noble’s life, being trained to take her father’s place as leader of their bloodline even as she dreams of running away to join the caravans that travel across the desert. There, she tells herself, she would be free to practice the magic she has always loved.

But when an ancient enemy lays waste to the oasis, Mahalia is the only one left to protect her family. As a mysterious wasting sickness preys on her tribe and whispers begin, calling the Yeshuhain demon-touched heretics, Mahalia must choose whether to follow her heart…or become the protector of her people that she was born to be.
