A novel for readers who love immersive ancient tales
When she breaks a sacred law to save an abandoned baby, Deghóm is cast out into a world facing ruin. She was raised to serve the sky, her voice echoing through the caves of the hill country. Now a salt river is tearing open the land bridge between two seas and threatening to drown the world.
Cave rituals and reed boats, sharp obsidian and glowing amber come to life in a historical fantasy that feels like recovered memory. It is an epic tale from a lost world of haunting beauty, told in a voice that lets ancient tongues sing again.
In the Day of the Flood is the first novel in the Four Lights series.
