The Hidden Valley

By Henrietta N. Blackwell

Don't pray to gods or they might answer.

Chili Hellyer is perfectly fine living among humans with her sister, working as a tailor. That all goes up in flame as a mysterious curse makes people snap and turn into blood thirsty monsters, and in the pandemonium the town ends up literally burning down. The desire to find out exactly what happened starts her on a journey back to the burned rubble - but with unforgiving desert and bored gods before her, she might never make it back at all
