Unnamed
Margaret Horton
Stuck in Khusali, the planet’s last surviving village, Niolai longs for something she can’t quite grasp. So when the chief asks for a volunteer to explore a newly discovered jungle, she takes the rare opportunity to escape.
It’s not long before Niolai realizes—the jungle is no ordinary place. The towering trees are home to magical creatures and secrets that threaten to unravel history as she knows it. Cataloging mysterious new species and navigating the jungle’s magical rules, Niolai must learn to decipher between destiny and decision, and how much weight is held in a name.
