The Rage had kept her numb until an unexpected love opened her heart and began to heal her traumatized spirit . . . At sixteen years old, Trib is a deadly warrior apprentice who can easily summon the Rage that has always protected her people, the New Murians, from the Puritanics and anyone else who threatens their freedom. Then a murderous ambush leaves her wounded and wandering alone. Taken in by the peace-loving Natives after she saves the life of their young seer, she vows to protect them from the Puritanics whom she has inadvertently led to their village. Resistant to her warrior-like ways, the Natives send her with their handsome tribal storyteller to seek help from her priestess leader. However, instead of finding aid, Trib discovers lies, deceit, and a shocking revelation about her own past that has her questioning everything. As an impending war threatens to destroy them all, she’s forced to make an impossible choice between the certainty of a world she knows and the uncharted path that awaits… “The Rage is fast-paced, gripping, and beautifully written, with a cast of appealing, unusual characters who struggle in a strange and threatening world.”Reeve Lindbergh-Two Lives”I liked Trib very much, with her blundering decency and sense of honor; the author has a keen nose for the spark of conscience in the most developed characters, and for the flaws necessary to give them reality.”John Bemrose – The Island Walker “A female warrior begins to question who the enemy really is, while slowly learning to control the murderous Rage.” Ruth Sanderson – The Enchanted Wood
