Banned: Running Toward Illumia, #1

By Angel Leya

I couldn’t let my tribe starve... But a unicorn?

Turns out they’re hungry enough to ignore the old warnings, but young huntress Astrea can’t live with herself if the curse wipes them out before the famine does.

And even if she could, her parents are leaving her no choice.

But taking their only source of food won’t sit well with her people, the Banned. The old tribe song rings in her ears: Where do the Banned go when home’s no longer home?

Astrea has only ever wanted to belong in her outlawed redheaded tribe, but the carrot rinse for her hair and sap freckles she frequently tattoos herself with can't mask her physical differences -- or the differences rooted deep inside. She fears protecting those she loves will only solidify the feeling that she's an outsider.

Somehow, she needs to fix this.

Banned is the expanded part one of Running Toward Illumia, which first appeared in the young adult anthology, That Moment When...

Angel Leya

Angel Leya began writing as a child, but only within the past decade has become serious, about trying to perfect and share her craft. She enjoys discovering new ways to entertain and delight, and takes pride in creating stories that she considers “clean”. Currently, her published books include Poetry in Composition: A Coffee Table Book of Poetry and Photos. This compilation of poetry, written mainly through the angst of her teen years along with some more recent pieces, is meant to bring comfort, understanding and inspiration. She’s also published a memoir about her pregnancy and what she learned in My Natural Birth Story: The Birthing Book I Wish I’d Read. Upcoming works include Running Toward Illumia, a story about one girl’s exile from her tribe of redheads and her race to leave the land of Mist before it kills her. She hopes to have it published later this year. Also in the works is Antarctic Discovery, a tale about the archeological discovery of the Tower of Babel, and the relationships formed by two historical linguists assigned to the project and the man recovered from the tower. Her original publication, Call Her Forth, is being rewritten and she hopes to release the new edition in the summer of 2017. Angel Leya loves mermaids, and was inspired to write Skye’s Lure, a contemporary fantasy romance ebook, after watching the Discovery Channel’s Mermaid: The Body Found. She spends her days trying to sing like Ariel when she’s not writing or taking care of her husband and children. In her spare time, Leya enjoys doing all things book, particularly creating book covers for print and ebooks. You can find out more at: www.AngeLeya.com
