Sapiens

In a small village on a prehistoric Earth, a young mage must harness her powers as barbarians from the north approach. Once every two generations, the young adults of Whitecliff must face the trial of Mother's Wrath, during which they will either receive magical powers or be swept away in the tempest. Dorea hopes the storm will bring her one of its elemental powers: lightning, water, or wind. To her shock, when the trial ends and the earth stops trembling, she finds herself gifted with all three. The village's shaman, Voggo, warns Dorea that this bounty is both a blessing and a curse. She will need to learn how to use the raw power coursing through her for her own protection and that of her loved ones-as well as deal with the side effects. Because the northern tribes are amassing, and magically enhanced animals are creeping closer to the village every day. Dorea soon realizes that her skills grow more quickly in bloody combat than through traditional training. And she is going to need every ounce of power she can get. With barbarians advancing on the only home she has ever known, she and her friends will soon have to fight to save themselves and their tribe.

Dorea has powers no mage in living memory could match, but when war threatens her village, can she push beyond her limits to save them all? When fourteen-year-old Dorea endured the trial of Mother's Wrath, she hoped to be the recipient of one of its three elemental powers: water, lightning, or wind. To her surprise, she was the first in her village to be gifted all three, making her the most powerful mage of her generation. But outside peaceful Whitecliff, the winds of war are blowing once again. Soon, monsters encroach upon the village's borders as barbarian tribes battle in the north, sparking conflict across the entire region. Meanwhile, Dorea throws herself into mastering protection spells, wards, and rituals, studying under Voggo the shaman. But despite her extraordinary abilities, when faced with creatures beyond her ken, she finds herself at fate's mercy. Now, with the bulk of the Mondean army threatening Whitecliff and tribes in the south harassing her allies, Dorea will have to dig deeper than ever before in order to answer the challenge they pose and save her village.
