The Gem of Meruna, Hardcover

Having lived beneath the rule of a vicious dictator all her life, Kiluna is no stranger to hardship. And yet, she holds hope.

Everyone has a breaking point though, and Kiluna is no different. After the brutal murder of her grandmother, she can stand it no longer. She sets off, determined to free her people, even if it means venturing through mysterious forests inhabited by outlaws. Soon, she finds that one in particular may be a danger to her heart, tempting her with a peaceful life. But she must go, for only one thing is powerful enough to save her people...
