Child of the Kaites (The Firstborn's Legacy)

By Beth Wangler

Desert fantasy retelling of the story of Moses, with magic swords, homicidal storms, and griffins. The kaites are spiritual beings who can dwell in rocks, plants, and water. They saved baby Rai from the watery death faced by her people. They raised her in the blessed region. They told her she would be the Leader of a Revolt. She was going to free her people from slavery. At least, that's what Rai used to believe. Then she grew up . Living as an exile under an assumed identity, Rai can't lead a conversation, let alone a slave revolt. Her role in life is to be an historian. She will lead her people by reminding them of who they are, nothing more. Yet the Izyphorn empire's evils continue. Her people are still enslaved. Babies are dying every day. Someone needs to do something. Reunions with childhood friends and encounters with an enigmatic stranger force Rai to reexamine what her purpose is. Is she called to be a humble historian or a mighty warrior... Or are those the same thing? A story of doubt, faith, fear, and courage. ***** What Fans are Saying: "Where do I even begin with this book? Child of the Kaites is an exquisitely crafted story of struggle and courage." ~E.B. Dawson, author of the Creation of Jack and Lost Empire series "How do you know a book has years of work and passion put into it? Such dedication is evidenced by a depth of world-building in culture and language and subtext, by characters who hold up a mirror to the reader's own heart, and by story-telling that isn't afraid to dig deeper than the surface." ~Nate Philbrick, author of Where the Woods Grow Wild "Rai is one of the most unique, compelling main characters I've read in a long time. Her constant wrestle with fear versus her desire to save her people is beautiful and inspiring." ~Hannah Heath, author of "Skies of Dripping Gold" and The Terebinth Tree Chronicles ***** Read it now.
