The Hole in the Sky

Yena would do anything to keep her family safe—without them, her past would consume her. The only problem is, with Tarin guards ready to punish them for the smallest infractions, safety isn’t an option. When Yena was a little girl, the Tarin ripped her voice away as a punishment for her father’s rebellion. Now she’s afraid to sew one stitch out of line. That obedience will crumble when Yena learns that her sister is dying of a Tarin-created disease.

In an effort to get a cure to save her sister’s life, Yena decides to join the rebellion. Though the rebellion’s reckless defiance proves as dangerous as she feared, Yena allies with them for her sister’s sake. When Yena’s sister dies despite her efforts to find a cure, Yena turns the rebellion on the leader of the Tarin, the man who ordered her voice removed as a child and caused her sister’s death.

Fighting a battle against the Tarin—and against herself—Yena must learn to put others’ needs before her own to keep herself from becoming the very thing that tore her family apart.
