    About this ebook

    Kal has always been considered too "fragile" to participate in the village activities. Her lithe stature links her to her father and distance her from everyone else. He left the village to fight in the Teristaque Wars and never returned. She meets Sarge, a strange star species of the human race who seems to know the secret of the patch from her father's uniform. Kal has always known she is different than her fellow villagers, and finally she may be closer to finding out why.

      Kal enjoyed her trips into the woodlands, and no one seemed to notice she was missing. In the forest, she was free to do as she pleased and never asked to perform the tasks of the elderly because of her frail form. Kal had begun the project to display her strength to the tribe. She would prove that she could move stone for the new town larder and not weave blankets for the young. 

      However, the cabin would never be finished if she couldn’t get the materials down the hill. She had dragged what would become the main load-bearing beam a long distance, only to get it stuck in a rut. She pondered the situation, and a voice interrupted her thoughts.
