The dreaded Nonnian army has invaded from the south, striking deep into the heart of the fertile lands of Mesotyoka, threatening death, destruction, and enslavement to all the tribes in its path. Victims of a quest for empire by a wolf warlord fashioning himself as the Destroyer, the peaceful villagers of Pafi must fight to defend their homeland, endure a grueling march through the mountains, and find a way to not only survive slavery but also escape the brutal tyranny of their hostile overlords. Plunged into an adventure beyond their choosing, the Pafians are tested to the limits of their courage, endurance, and strength of the fragile fabric that holds them together as Pafians.

A tale of tragedy, community, and heroism, this first of two books in the Saga of Pafi brings to life the medieval animal world of Hittel, in an epic utilizing North America’s rich biodiversity and breathtaking landscapes.
