Fantasy inspired by the Book of Ruth
Sold to a 'Family' of thieves at the age of ten by her own father and her fearful mother, Kala appeals to her city's gods to save her. But the heavens offer only silence. Is a vulnerable and reluctant child-thief too unimportant for the warrior-god, the Vanquisher, or for Soneri Khuapi's revered mother-goddess to notice, much less to rescue her?
