Catrina adjusts the reins as her caravan rolls across the dusty plains at dawn. The wagons behind her carry more than supplies and trade goods. They hold secrets that powerful people will kill for. Each settlement brings new dangers as Catrina navigates between warring factions who want what she protects. Her drivers trust her judgment, but trust runs thin when food grows scarce and enemies close in. The road ahead splits into three paths, and Catrina must choose which one leads to safety. Her decision will determine whether her caravan reaches its destination or becomes another pile of bones bleaching in the sun. The weight of leadership presses down on her shoulders as she realizes that keeping her people alive means confronting the very forces she has spent years avoiding.
