When the Wind Comes Calling

"Listen to the wind and be afraid. We only live because we fear death."

For as long as she could remember, those words had kept Reyah alive. The Vi'da had survived by that, and by running. After nearly a decade of war, Reyah and her tribe still find themselves hiding from a tyrannical group of heretics that are set on their extinction. But when an effort to smuggle her people out of the continent goes terribly wrong, a vengeance within her is lit for all the world to see. Now, running is no longer an option.

Cerne and his brothers have one purpose; to kill. After the revolution, the stolen generations of the tribes were turned into an elite death squadron known as the Reapers. To celebrate a decade of war, the crown has decided to host a competition. Whomever retrieves a Vi'da for execution will win retirement and be free of the New World's hold. But only one can win. Cerne will have to fight his own kind for freedom, but his brotherhood may pose a greater threat.

As fate throws the worlds of the two together, it seems a larger power is at play. A blessing or a curse, neither of them can be killed. The stories of their people have been lost throughout time, but the unspoken bond between them will force them to decide who the real enemy is, and to choose their own fates.

Run, or fight. Kill, or avenge. The stolen generations will be caught between the voice of an ancient magic, and the greed to take vengeance on the monarchy who tore their people and their world apart.

But when you no longer fear death, anything is possible.
