About this ebook
When Ash, tribal storyteller and hunter, heads out into the drought stricken woods to find game for his family, he gets a little more than he bargained for when he stops to offer a little help to an injured fox. That's how he met Vanora, the child-like Wind Goddess who wanted him to take a special role among her people.

Born in Huntsville, Texas, Jo found her stimulation through writing and reading from a young age. In a town where the big excitements were movies and bowling, she filled notebooks, and later Word documents with stories of places she wanted to visit, or that she dreamed up. As to Jo herself, she's not the most exciting individual, she saves that for her heroes and heroines.

Hunting was a waste of time. Ash knew that, every hunter in the tribe knew that. They had been camped here for nearly two years, struggling to survive the drought that had turned their mountains into tinder, a fire waiting to happen. Still, that didn’t stop Ash from bringing his bow and arrows with him as he left the camp, his wooden recorder tucked into the special pouch on the outside of his quiver.
After the tribe’s storyteller, Niven had died of the winter sickness, Ash had been called to take a position he still was not sure he was ready for.

Ash jumped onto a fallen tree and ran lightly down its length, avoiding a thicket that had hidden the snake that had killed a hunter two weeks past. The action drew him from his thoughts and Ash sighed softly. He would never find anything to hunt if he did not pay attention to the world around him.
As if the thought had summoned it, an animal’s cry of pain filled the woods, followed by a hollow thump. Ash drew an arrow as he turned. A fox was standing on the log behind him, one foot lifted up and his ear torn. He looked as if he had been through a nasty fight.
