Nor Warrior, Nor Priestess

"The divorce was brutal and although she was prepared for the dissolution of her marriage, she was not prepared for the court to take everything from her."

 

Kiki's friends draw around her protectively as she mourns her old life, especially her beloved pets that her abusive ex-husband will never let her have back. Imagine her surprise when the next morning dawns with the return of those pets!

 

Now, with her dogs and horse close by her side, she is running through the wildest parts of the Everglades, intent on making a new life far away from his reach. While there, she encounters other wounded souls scattered through the sticky swamps and intent on their own healing.

 

When life becomes good and she has mastered living off the land, she is approached with a plea: gather the swamp dwellers together and lead them safely through the violence that threatens to destroy the world outside their borders.
