Publisher's Synopsis
Set against a backdrop of lush rolling hills, this tale "Umber; The Truce between the Flame and the Sparks," portrays age-old tensions suddenly erupting between two peoples - the Flamefolk of the upper highlands and the industrious Sparkers of the valley towns below. As cycles of reaction and retaliation give rise to further division, only a few seek understanding instead of vengeance. Tariq and Umber daringly build rapport between former foes, inspiring glimmers of hope. But can their bond take root when fear and fanaticism hold such sway? Through intimate glimpses of lives on both sides, this story navigates the thorny path towards truce - and maybe even trust - between two determined to share land, each calling these scenic yet stormy regions home.
