North Star: A Tale of the Twin Worlds (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798842779789)

Winner of the 2008 EPPIE Award for Best Fantasy E-book

Riyya was never meant to survive.

When raiders destroy her tribe, the young centaur loses everything that once defined her-her family, her home, and the future she believed awaited her. Alone in a world that has become frighteningly empty, she expects nothing more than to endure.

Then she meets Gaenor.

Driven by an unshakable belief that the greatest legend of the Twin Worlds is more than myth, the wounded explorer rekindles something Riyya thought had died with her past: hope. Together they set out to uncover the truth behind an ancient civilization said to have vanished from history, following clues across kingdoms and into lands no living soul has ever explored.

But every discovery demands a price.

As forgotten powers awaken beneath the frozen skies of the far North, Riyya must face impossible choices between love and friendship, dreams and duty, and learn that some journeys do not end with finding what was lost-but with discovering who we are willing to become.

An epic tale of courage, sacrifice, and the search for belonging, North Star is the award-winning first novel in the Twin Worlds Tales.
