Book blurb, from publisher’s website:[1. Review copy provided by Musa Publishing]
“A dark god is awakening and a young temple scribe holds the balance of the world in her hands.
Deep beneath the temple, young Tarith makes a discovery, one that will take her on a journey of learning and danger. The Dreaming God is waking, and it is only Tarith who holds the balance of power within her hands. Or is it?
Tarith’s journey will take her across vast lands and numerous encounters to try to restore the balance of power that keeps the world safe.”
