Magnificent fantasy adventure story, with a romance at its heart, this book is a page-turner.

Disguised as a boy, Risha leaves the village with a group of traders, on a quest to find out the truth about her mother and her heritage. Here begins a grand sweeping adventure as Risha is caught up in dangerous pursuits, intrigue, trickery and betrayal. She is left for dead, confused by the actions of many, and is made to hide from those who wish her harm. She finds out by chance that she is Cattra’s daughter. Who is Cattra — and why do so many wish Risha harm? CATTRA SERIES Book 1: Cattra's Legacy Book 2: Donnel's Promise
