A young woman had graduated High School at age fifteen. She likes to read and has a summer break. Then she hears about a new series of books. She purchases book one and takes it to the attic to read. Her mother is busy sewing, so the young woman has time to learn what the book had to say. It was a book that, once started, was hard to put down. She became so involved in the story that it was like being there. Her name was Mara, and she soon was lost in the pages of the book. Things began to happen as she became a woman hired to enforce the law on a planet that did not have much. Currently, she traveled with two animals. A wolf and a horse moved with her wherever she went. Before long, she would have to handle a group of people that were trying to take over the town of her assignment. She found an Ali in the form of a young boy. Then others began to offer aid in many ways. Before long, her group consisted of children, adults, the animals, a mission, an underground city, and enough challenges to keep her busy for the rest of her life.
