Rocalla’s Saga: Betrayal

Description

Hoping for asylum and acceptance, Rocalla discovers the Rhozzhan of the Duradh Plateau to be wary of outsiders and fearful of becoming entangled in her struggles with the authorities in Mandelbroggen. Things grow more tense as events cause them to suspect that she is still being pursued for her actions in that city. As she works to build trust, a Rhozzhani Teller warns her of imminent danger, despite her location beyond the borders of the Pyrusian Empire. Suspecting that her presence will endanger the Rhozzhani village where she is staying, Rocalla is once again forced to flee into the wilderness to escape, this time with the aid of a Rhozzhani guide. This fantasy novel follows Rocalla into a foreign land with a culture that is misunderstood and despised by some of the North Plessian women who are accompanying her. She fights to build trust and understanding, while trying to determine how her location in this land was betrayed to those in Mandelbroggen who still want her returned to that city for persecution as a heretic or enemy of the empire. Betrayal is the second book in the Rocalla’s Saga series.
