The Elised Cycle
Breaking Inlands
In Breaking Inlands, volume one of the Elised Cycle, Dorris Nuddle’s only solace is her moments of escape at the river’s edge—a river of live, unbroken water. Every Inlander knows that to touch unbroken water means contamination and imprisonment. So why does she love it so much? When she finds a young man standing in the forbidden river, she doesn’t report him. Instead they join forces. He renames her Rilki and teaches her about the magic her people have forgotten, or perhaps purposefully suppressed. They begin to unravel a shadowy web of control that leaves people missing or dead. Unfortunately, she attracts the attention of powerful enemies. One of the Inlander variety and another far more ancient. With her new found magical gift to commune with water—the very element her people fear—Rilki must uncover deadly secrets and stop those who will kill to keep them. If she’s caught, she’ll be locked away in isolation and all she’s learned to love will be destroyed.
