The Possibility of What If

In Book 1, mourning her husband Thaydon, Vodali refugee Brynn Dahl consoles their teenage daughter Finny as well as sister-in-law Pollette, who has also lost her son Roque from the lethal sickness plaguing their Yunka district. When Brynn's grandmother Mirella asserts that Thaydon is still alive, Pollette is horrified; Yunkas detest the Malap tradition of renewal.A harrowing road trip through Jolem Territory leads Brynn and her family to northern Natagonia where they meet with Thaydon's former commander. Meanwhile in central Natagonia, a Yunka named Strivek works on a vast ranch run by Yasbek Timral and her brother Molarn. Strivek cannot recall his past, but Vodali songs are in his repertoire. A California native, I lived in Britain for eleven years, moving back to The Golden State in the spring of 2007. I'm leaving these stories for my grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. In the meantime, please enjoy the tall tales. And thank you for reading an independent author. Mourning her husband Thaydon, Vodali refugee Brynn Dahl learns that the Yunka veteran might still be alive. During a widespread plague, Brynn and her family take to the road in search of Thaydon, while faraway a lone Yunka dwells with other former soldiers. Strivek retains nothing from his past other than a scrap of Vodali cloth, its design like a tattoo imprinted along his battle-scarred skin.
