Unsure of himself and unready, Kai comes of age fast when his town is attacked and his two sisters are carried off by mysterious raiders who leave behind chaos and destruction. When the adults are slow to react, Kai takes it upon himself to go after them, alone. Along the way, he finds Ursla, whose people are very different from Kai's. Together, they learn that the world is doomed, and to survive, both his people and hers must band together to find a new home.
Indebted to oral storytelling and tales across cultures, Rogue World offers a thoughtful but ultimately heartening critique on human nature in times of crisis. F.O. Hill draws readers into a story that has twists and turns that bump up against our expectations. Just when we think we have the story in control, there is a tease followed by a sudden change of course that leads to a shocking revelation about our place in the larger fabric of history and society.
