Daughter of the Sky

Korinda Castleman is trying to figure out who she is and where she belongs in a world where the title 'Foster Kid' alienates her from her peers. Eleven years of foster care, a series of both chaotic and 'unfortunate timing' placements, has left Kori feeling both abandoned and alone with nowhere to call home. When her current foster family begins to unravel at both ends Kori decides to run away but is intercepted by karma wielding men confronting her foster father. Kori makes a split-second decision that saves her life but complicates the already heated situation. When shot at by law enforcement, fear drives her to flee in the night and step through a mystical doorway leaving everything she knows behind. Waking in the desert of a two-sunned world spurs Kori to do what she has always done in adversity: survive. Determined she sets out and finds not only civilization but a people who embrace her with open arms and call her a Daughter of the Sky. Newfound security is challenged when a Seer reveals a destiny of heroic proportions that depend on her embracing the way of life offered to her; a Rider of Kaldura. Adjusting to life in a world that lives by the sword is daunting- until Rhonan, a telepathic young Spirit Horse, chooses her to become his rider. The pair have a short time to become an unstoppable team that can fight and survive together before the Trials that will test their training and solidify her position among the Riders. Kori finds herself navigating a new world, new friendships and a bit of romance along the way. Yet the shadowed Kazmer brings tales far different from her own experiences that remind her of the world she left behind not the one she is coming to call home. Can she reconcile her heart with her doubts and shadowed destiny before she takes an oath she cannot break?
