Ndesa

Dashin grew up on a harsh desert world, always the youngest, always alone. When the chance for adventure finally came, he signed onto a mining ship to prospect uncharted space. But his search for freedom ends in disaster when he crash-lands on a lush jungle planet and wakes in a treetop village among a people unlike any he has ever known—some of whom wield gifts that defy logic. He is thrust into a series of ritual trials, deadly ones he’s entirely untrained for, even before the attempts on his life begin.

They wanted a simple life. The jungle had other plans…Dashin, now of the tribe, has finally found the family he's yearned for. While Alina is thrilled to have Dashin by her side, she grapples with what this means for their future. Even Pritha comes into her own, accepting the trees and the village as her home. But life in the trees is a fragile thing. When a mysterious disease arises that preys on seers, anxiety ripples through the village. Unease turns to dread as news reaches them of a scourge that stalks the treetops. One that might see their village and perhaps their entire world undone.
