The Rage
Tribulation Sarahdaughter figured if it was a goddess issuing orders, and granting her the super-human strength to carry out those orders, then righteousness was on her side. She figured wrong. Raised as a warrior in the all-female settlement of New Murias, 16-year-old Trib couldn’t wait to pass the test she trained for her whole life and receive the gift of the Rage. With it, she would have the strength to punish the men who oppressed her people and murdered her family—the Puritanics. But on her first mission a deadly ambush stranded her in a marsh with only one hope for survival, the care of a young Native boy named Peyewik, whose ability to speak with the spirits caused his own people to fear him. When Peyewik nursed Trib back to health and then asked for her help, she felt obliged to grant it, never realizing that allying herself with a Native would put her in conflict with not only the Puritanics, but the warrior-women who raised her. Alienated from both their people and hunted by the Puritanics, Trib and Peyewik uncover lies and abuses of power that threaten to destroy the New World.
