Sanctuary — Mark Robson

Taya arrives at the cult sanctuary with Ishlae, and must complete her initiation if she is to stay. Ishlae wants more from her daughter, and suggests a way for Taya to unlock her power. But the ritual is dangerous and has not been attempted for one hundred years.

All legends begin somewhere. All myths have a kernel of truth.

When the scattered remnants of humanity step from the dark, with nothing but their wits and the waning power of an old shaman to protect them, they are faced with a cracked, lifeless desert. Led by a child, guided by the spirits, their deeds will become myth.

To survive, they must train a new generation of shamans to face the coming dangers. Thirteen students to guide the people into a new age. And, of those students, two young sisters will grow to stand at the heart of a legend.
