The Warrior Who Carried Life
To defeat her enemies... she must make them immortal.
Only men are allowed into the wells of vision. But Cara’ s mother defies this edict and is killed, but not before returning with a vision of terrible and wonderful things that are to come... and all because of five-year-old Cara.
Years later, evil destroys the rest of Cara’ s family. In a rage, Cara uses magic to transform herself into a male warrior. But she finds that to defeat her enemies, she must break the cycle of violence, not continue it.
As Cara’ s mother’ s vision of destiny is fulfilled, the wonderful follows the terrible, and a quest for revenge becomes a quest for eternal life.
