When Pocahontas was two summers old, the SkyKeepers erased her mother's name from the tribe's history. Her father encouraged it, as he encouraged many things--for her safety. He couldn't have another chief's wife taken by the things of the newworlders, lost to their treachery, their diseases. So he married her to Kocoum instead.
For years, Pocahontas has given her life to others: to her distant father, to her inflexible husband, to her brother and her tribe. Now newworlders invade her forest, strange pale visitors that follow magic spinners over seas and record their histories in curving letters-letters which may prove to be her closest link to her mother. Discovering a past she didn't know existed, Pocahontas will risk her marriage, her family, her tribe, and her chiefdom to uncover the truth.

Sunaina, a lotus blooming in the palace gardens, stood resilient amidst the whispers of change. Keith Woods, a British general with eyes like stormy skies, brought the weight of empire to their unlikely union. "You're getting married, Sunaina. It's arranged," her father's words fell like autumn leaves, crunching beneath her dreams. "Why him?" Sunaina's voice trembled like a leaf in the monsoon winds. "Because, my dear, sometimes fate demands we take a different path," her mother whispered, her eyes a canvas of moonlit shadows. As they stood before each other, their hearts were like two wild birds, beating fiercely in cages of duty and expectation. "You know nothing about me," Keith's voice was a low thunder. "I know enough," Sunaina's reply was a flash of lightning. "I'm marrying a stranger." Their marriage was a canvas waiting to be painted with vibrant hues of love, rebellion, and sacrifice.
