Synopsis: Hanyma, a spirited young woman from the remote village of Kepler, is at a crossroads in her life. She wants to explore the unfamiliar, wide-open country outside her croft. But rumblings of dark, inexorable forces terrorizing the sparsely-populated continent dampen her aspirations.
That was before devastation gripped her. Now, driven by a wandering quest for vengeance, the headstrong survivalist struggles to combat a band of vicious marauders while simultaneously trying to comprehend all the strange phenomena discovered amidst ruins of technologically-advanced precursors.
Before long, Hanyma is thrust into circumstances beyond her ability to control, and she must team with an unlikely ally from a far-gone past who is determined to complete a mission of global importance. Whether that mission succeeds or not may well depend on the callow wayfarer from Kepler. Can Hanyma put aside her bloodlust when the fate of humanity beckons? Will it matter when pitted against the crushing weight of a powerful, inscrutable enemy?
Review: This is a very intriguing story. I haven't really read as much sci-fi stuff lately, been all romance, so this was a refreshing change. Gotta love a post apocalyptic story that isn't totally predictable. The story wasn't hard to follow, so not so technical that it detracts from the story itself. We see Hanyma start off as a young girl approaching the age of marriage before tragedy strike and alters her life forever. She changes, getting her wish to be an adventurer though only because of the death of her family and destruction of her home. There's far more to the story, and it seems there will be more to tell later.
