Description

Nallan Ino never thought when she stepped onto that bus - a relic from a time long past - that it would lead her into a future where friends become enemies, nightmares cross into the waking world, and hope for the future lies with an ancient people lost to history. In a world devastated by war and disputes are settled by fist or blade, if she wants to survive, she must fight. If she wants to save those she loves, she must Become. Growing up in a world torn apart by nuclear war, eighteen-year-old Nallan Ino has fought hard, and won her place in the Nin-Jitsu School of the West Coast Territory. But that was only the beginning. Travelling through the Midwest desert, on their way to the Order on the opposite coast, Nallan and her team have already faced challenges and foes alike. What lies ahead will push them all to the limit, and beyond. Where a decision made in an instant just might change the world. Nallan must trust the abilities she's only begun to wield in order to save all she holds dear. What price is she willing to pay to keep them safe? How far will she go to defeat the evil that haunts her?
