Nearly five years after helping to bring peace to its southern neighbors, Kelvia faces its own struggles. With the death of their chief imminent, Kelvians must choose who will lead them until Chief Tyndall’s son is of age.

Tara has always been loyal to Tyndall and to Kelvia. She never sought leadership. She questions why her mentor would put the position on her when no woman has ever led her tribe. Considering the only relative Chief Tyndall will claim is his niece, Tara knows she must take the position or leave it to a ruthless woman who will use any means necessary to lead.

Kayla feels she deserves the role of guardian. She’s the only blood relative Tyndall’s son has. Kelvia needs a strong leader. One who knows how to get what she wants. One who draws strong warriors to her side. And one who does not collaborate with Acorans, traitors, and stuttering fools. Tara will only lead the tribe to more weakness. Kayla can make it strong, as it was under her grandfather before her uncle threw it all away.
