Rebecca Roland

“Rebecca Roland does such an amazing job of creating a character that is so rich in history, so relentless in her quest, and so authentic in her courage, that I am completely in awe of her skills as a writer … Shards of History reminds us of why we love books in the first place.” — Good Choice Reading

“A newcomer to watch!” — James Maxey, author of Greatshadow: The Dragon Apocalypse.

“Rebecca Roland has an amazing story to tell us with Shards of History. Her style is remarkable, her characters are amazing, and the story is worth every bit of time you spend reading it.” — Plasma Frequency

Shards of History by Rebecca Roland.

“Roland delivers the goods!” — Susan Abel Sullivan, author of The Haunted Housewives of Allister, Alabama

Like all Taakwa, Malia fears the fierce winged creatures known as Jeguduns who live in the cliffs surrounding her valley. When the river dries up and Malia is forced to scavenge farther from the village than normal, she discovers a Jegudun, injured and in need of help.

Malia’s existence — her status as clan mother in training, her marriage, her very life in the village — is threatened by her choice to befriend the Jegudun. But she’s the only Taakwa who knows the truth: that the threat to her people is much bigger and much more malicious than the Jeguduns who’ve lived alongside them for decades. Lurking on the edge of the valley is an Outsider army seeking to plunder and destroy the Taakwa, and it’s only a matter of time before the Outsiders find a way through the magic that protects the valley — a magic that can only be created by Taakwa and Jeguduns working together.
