    Creator

    Waller, Jae

    McArthur, Sera-Lys

    Abstract

    A rebellious heroine faces a colonial world coming unstitched in Jae Waller's stunning debut fantasy. Seventeen-year-old Kateiko doesn't want to be Rin anymore - not if it means sacrificing lives to protect the dead. Her only way out is to join another tribe, a one-way trek through the coastal rainforest. Killing a colonial soldier in the woods isn't part of the plan. Neither is spending the winter with Tiernan, an immigrant who keeps a sword with his carpentry tools. His log cabin leaks and his stories about other worlds raise more questions than they answer.
