Coming Soon! The Next Awesome Book From Author Kandi J. Wyatt
Blurb
If only the voices would shut up!
Eighteen-year-old Kristjan has grown up under the weight of this clan's expectations. Living in the shadow of his father's mighty leadership, he has spent years trying to measure up to the office he'll one day hold. Everyone says he'll be an excellent chief, but he doesn't see it that way, and then, as if to prove his point, a hunting expedition to the icy wastes of Toppur goes awry, and Kristjan's party returns one member short.
As if the guilt wasn't enough to grapple with, the community is struggling to locate a fresh vein of ore--the only way to revive the trade they rely on for survival. When his future father-in-law is trapped in a cave-in, a desperate Kristjan sees an opportunity to redeem himself, but the success he'd yearned for does nothing to ease his growing doubts.
Meanwhile the incessant whispers in his head are growing louder--a repeating chorus of condemnation and inadequacy that echoes, telling him that the people in his life would be better off without him. When his best efforts to redeem himself go awry, devastating the woman he's bound to marry, it seals the conviction--how can his betrothed even look at him after what he's done? And how ca a person dogged by such darkness dream of anything but further failure? Burdened by his shortcomings, Kristjan must confront the void growing in his spirit--or else it might well consume his future.
This coming of-age fantasy is the first of a duology that follows two different young men and the women who love them, as they try to find their place in the world and discover where their worth lies.
