The Wind's Call

Eva is a herd mistress with no herd. She lost her old life when it died, and she built a new one among people who are not her own. By her own reckoning she is a tagalong, though she was never cast out by them.

Then she rescues one of the winged horses, a creature out of myth, from those who mean to enslave him. The rescue gives the people who took her in the one thing they want above all else: the chance of an alliance.

Eva is sent deep into the Highlands, with one of the Warlord's most trusted warriors as her guard. Someone there is stirring up the discord that wars grow from, and the terrors waiting in the region are real. If she fails, she dies. If she succeeds, she may learn truths she is not ready to hear.

The Broken Lands are in flux, and the balance of power is moving under everyone's feet. Survivors will have to adjust fast, and Eva has to judge carefully who she counts as a friend.
