The River
Thousands of years before the island civilizations, hundreds of years before finding the ocean at all, women know only the river. They need it, taking water and food from it to survive, but are also wary of its chaotic nature. Their way of life has been stable for as long as stories have been told. But now one woman has learned some dangerous secrets, and it is the river that promises hope of safety to her and those who will follow.
