King Vratt is Naga, a reptilian race. He weighs everything and everyone according to how powerful they make him. When he’s stranded on the planet, he enslaves the gentle people. Throughout the novel, Dyami tries to understand him and why he is so controlling. You’ll need to read the novel to learn what she discovers…
I went to West Virginia for a few days to relax and connect with nature. With no Internet access, this was pretty easy. My trip highlights were riding a steam train up a mountain and sitting by a large waterfall that drowned out all other sounds. Enjoy!
Radella is Dyami’s best friend and is a sextant. She communicates with magical creatures who teach the villagers amazing abilities. Her people experience massive changes after the Naga come. The story shows what happens when conquerors force natives to deny their heritage and adapt new ways.
Here’s a glimpse of me behind the scenes. It’s August, which means it’s canning season. I went to an Amish market for corn, then of course had a feline helper in the process.
