The Sky People
A novella.
Raging River, priestess of the Sun People, has just done the unthinkable.
The Sun People are bound by an ancient law, left by the long-vanished Sky People: they must never kill. To other tribes, who have no such law, the Sun People are easy prey who will not defend themselves. Their game is poached, their stores are raided, their women abducted, their men killed for sport.
But when Raging River and her sister are attacked by a Wolf People raiding party, River fights back and kills one of the warriors. Worse, she has killed the son of their chief.
Now, with the Wolf People vowing revenge and her people facing annihilation, River must do the impossible. She must prove herself as priestess. She must find the mythical Sky People.

Terry Goodkind
In the sprawling landscape of epic fantasy, where morality twists through magic and kingdoms fall with the weight of a whispered truth, Terry Goodkind carved out a path that was wholly his own—bold, uncompromising, and unafraid to challenge the genre’s conventions.
Best known for The Sword of Truth series, Goodkind didn’t just write about heroes—he built a philosophy into their bones. At the heart of his sprawling saga is Richard Rahl, a woods guide turned reluctant leader whose journey unfolds not merely as an adventure, but as a study in reason, free will, and personal responsibility. Where many fantasy authors lean into myth and fate, Goodkind leaned into choice. He wove moral clarity through moral complexity, demanding that readers grapple with not just what is right, but why.
