Pawn

I'm no one's pawn. Not with my skills. I may outwardly kneel in allegiance, but when I do, it is by my choice, and only my choice. In more private settings, well, in the words of my people, "She carries the spear from that hut."

It's never meant as a compliment.

No, I'm no one's pawn.

Not anymore.

Yallameenara is a 13-year-old girl of the Horse People when the strangers come to The Hippa. Soon, Yalla finds herself taken from everything and everyone she knows, the pawn in a game of politics and diplomacy.

This is a long novel of 170,000 words and is the first in the three-novel Pawn series.
