“Book Descriptions: From Iris Knox comes a debut novella full of grit, war, and determination.
In the Tribe of Dawn, one must always follow the rules:
Never steal from a neighbour Never curse the skygods out loud Never lie to the High Court Never wander into the East woods alone Never speak to an enemy clansman Never approach the boundary Never, ever cross the boundary
The rules must always be followed.
Lilian Utopiv is wandering through the woods alone one afternoon when she sees a boy across the boundary. She knows the rules. She knows what will happen if she breaks them.
With secrets unravelling at every turn, and an enemy tribe hungry for her blood, Lilian is pushed to her limits--physically, mentally, spiritually. Her enemies want her to be a coward. They want her to spill her secrets. They want her to turn on the Sungod she serves.
But she can't. Or her tribe will pay with their lives.” DRIVE
