Book Cover & Preview Text
Minab and Kabay burst into the room with their swords drawn. Jaymin screamed and sunk onto the floor. Breena was startled, but she grabbed one of the smaller swords to defend herself. Even though it was a small sword it was still extremely heavy and as she swung it around it almost pulled her off her feet. With all her might she held it up and waited. Kabay and Minab, dripping wet from the rain outside, lowered their weapons at the sight of Breena struggling to keep the sword in the air. They were not accustomed to such a sight and Kabay laughed. Minab, dead serious, shouted for her to drop her weapon on the floor. Breena did not comprehend his words and stood her ground. Minab shouted again and this time Jaymin cried out what the words meant. Breena lowered her sword quickly and it sparked as the metal hit the stone floor tiles, but she did not release her grip. She kept her gaze on Minab and wondered if anyone else could hear her heart pounding. "Tell them I am the one who organized the women, Jaymin." Breena said slowly. Jaymin told them and this time Minab smirked. He yelled again for her to drop her weapon. Breena remained steadfast. With one unconstrained swing, Minab hit the blade of Breena's sword, knocking it out of her hand and across the room. Breena grabbed the palm of her hand as the handle ripped out of her grip. It left a small cut that bled considerably. Jaymin started to cry and even Breena began to tremble at her inevitable fate. She didn't know what to do, so she just stood there, her eyes fastened on Minab's every move. Minab walked over to Breena and took a small portion of her hair in his hand. He looked at it and then he sheathed his sword. Slowly he took out his knife and cut a small lock of her hair off. Breena looked down, afraid to look into his fierce glare. She hoped he did not notice that she was shaking. What would he cut next?

About the Book
After a strong-willed young woman finds herself the sole survivor of a plane crash, she is forced to become the newest resident of a lost ancient civilization.
Three weeks shy of her seventeenth birthday, Breena Keets embarks on a two-week expedition to the North Pole. As she, her father and several others board the tiny plane, no one has any idea that a storm lurks in the distance. On the final leg of their journey to the land of the midnight sun, tragedy strikes and the plane crashes. Breena is the sole survivor. Worse yet, she has no idea where she is.
After Breena awakens, she soon learns she is in Moatsha, a strange land where there are, unfamiliar maps, strictly enforced laws, and no modern conveniences. Now Breena is not only lost, but deathly afraid she will never be found. Unwittingly catapulted into an ancient civilization where power, lust, violence, and love rule, Breena struggles to learn the ways of the people, and is forced into marrying a fierce warrior. As the strange world envelops Breena, she fights to survive within its suppressive society.
Caught between the only world she has ever known and a foreign land, Breena is about to discover that fate will not only determine her destiny, but also the future of those she loves.
