About this ebook
Murder. Betrayal. Deception.
For untold generations, the People of Two Rivers have thrived in their unforgiving desert home by building canals, tending fields, and raising families. When the canals begin to fail, these peaceful farmers fall prey to the ambitions of a Rainsinger who promises everything . . . but demands a sacrifice greater than they could ever imagine.
As old secrets are unburied and prophecies come to pass, can anyone stand against the Rainsinger's thirst for power?
Volume 1 of a new series, Tales of the Watermasters

Sally Bennett Boyington
Sally Bennett Boyington fell in love with the Southwest during a childhood vacation in Flagstaff, Arizona. Later visits to ruins and a memorable kachina coloring book spurred a lifelong fascination with the history and people of the Southwest. During the twenty years she lived in one Arizona city or another as an adult, she witnessed devastatingly beautiful sunrises and sunsets, experienced spine-tingling moments of awe, and came to understand the fragility of human existence. Brought up in a family of readers, at four years old she demanded that her mother teach her to read. Three years later, she had a Halloween poem published in the newspaper: creative writing had sunk its teeth into her and never quite let go. For a long time (300 books’ worth), making a living with copy editing took priority over writing, but personal changes and recent developments in the publishing industry convinced Sally to share her imagined worlds with readers. She hopes they stimulate thoughts, conversations, and a new perspective on the real world in which we live.
