Evryn, the Light

"Evryn won me over by its ambition, invention, and strong narrative..." (Scott Russell Sanders, author of Small Marvels and The Way of Imagination)On the tiny island of Kenozaria, women are in charge. At the age of 17, they receive a special power: the ability to hear the guidance of their ancestors. But Evryn Korina is not what her mother, Chief Korina Freya, expected her to be, and Evryn has a secret. Aloof and disconnected from her fellow people, she prefers the company of trees and does her best to stay in the shadows.

But when a fierce new enemy invades, threatening her people and their way of life, Evryn comes face-to-face with her destiny. If there's any hope of saving her people and their beloved homeland, Evryn must make a life-altering decision. Will she continue hiding in her mother's shadow or learn to connect with her intuition and her fellow women to embrace her latent power?
