Refuge

Sara has left her entire life behind to protect the people she loves, seeking refuge among the Mohiri—a warrior community she quickly discovers is nothing like what she expected. As she navigates intense training, blossoms new friendships, and falls into her first love, she's also racing against time to hide a secret heritage while mastering powers that seem determined to evolve on their own schedule. The catch? A dangerous figure known only as the Master is relentlessly hunting her, and Sara begins to realize that the one place she thought would save her might be hiding dangers of its own. This is a gorgeous coming-of-age story about finding strength you didn't know you had, discovering where you truly belong, and learning that sometimes the biggest battles are the ones within ourselves.
