It's not easy being a teenager, even on other planets in this sci-fi series. Follow Alysa as she engages with the perils of belonging to a post-apocalyptic society where other tribes are a challenge and often a threat.
In this sequel to "Alysa of the Fields", it is four cycles later. The Folk and Trailmen have accepted that they are part of something greater than themselves. They have come together as “the Seekers”. Their purpose: to find the true Parents of the Orphans. But they find something much more insidious and more lethal than any threat they have faced before.
Hidden deep in the mountains of planet Xunar-kun, the Field Folk clan believed themselves to be the only people, other than the distant Trailmen, to inhabit their war-torn world. They were wrong. While discovering her individuality, Alysa — a young woman of the Field Folk — risks all to save her people from certain peril. She reveals long-hidden truths that will reunite long-separated tribes.
