Keara's Raven: Escape - Keara's Raven, #1

I take your rebellion. Forget it. It is mine. In the sheltered village of Silver Hollow, Keara knows exactly what she must do: Follow her mother's strict rules and worship the twelve gods. But Keara's twelfth birthday is looming, along with an obligation she dreads. She must sacrifice her beloved darkbeast on a holy altar. Other children despise their bonded scapegoat animals, but Keara loves her raven, Caw.
He's her only friend, the sole creature who understands her headstrong ways. When a traveling theater troupe passes through the village, Keara glimpses a way to escape. But the Great Road comes with its own dangers, including dread Inquisitor priests who hunt down heretics. Will Keara find the strength to flee the only home she's ever known? Or will she be forced to slay her closest friend on the altar of the gods?The Keara's Raven Series includes:Keara's Raven: EscapeKeara's Raven: Betrayal021819mkm
