Sacrificing Ayda (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798995000815)

A middle grade - light YA fantasy adventure about courage, identity, and the meaning of sacrifice.

When thirteen-year-old Ayda is chosen as a sacrifice, she refuses to accept her fate-she runs.

Determined to find a way to protect herself-and the people she cares about-Ayda sets out for Witch Marsh, a place whispered about in fear and legend.

But escape isn't easy.

She's forced to travel with a former friend who once ignored her-and Sunny, the quiet boy sworn to bring her back. As they journey beyond the safety of her village, Ayda begins to realize the truth is far more complicated than she ever imagined.

And something is hunting her.

As secrets unravel and danger closes in, Ayda must make an impossible choice:

embrace a power she doesn't fully understand...

or risk everything to save the people she loves.
