Rimitorry: Daughter of the Dark Alpha

Born in darkness. Raised by warriors. Tempted by power. Rimitorry Ka’ Tora is the daughter of the most feared warrior on Murder Island—a man destined to become known as the Dark Alpha. Long before she understands the weight of her family name, four-year-old Rimitorry is taken from her home and carried into the hidden settlement of Nhem’Rakul. Her kidnappers believe they can use one lonely child to control the Five, the powerful warriors who are conquering the island one territory at a time. They are wrong. When Rimitorry’s family comes for her, their rescue leaves a village in ashes and changes the future of Murder Island forever. From the destruction emerge new children, new loyalties, and new wounds. Among them are Eshari, the watchful green-eyed girl who becomes Rimitorry’s sister, and Polezah, a frightened boy whose fascination with bodies may one day become something far more dangerous. As Rim grows inside the rising Ka’Rukan Empire, childhood gives way to weapons, blood, rivalries, and responsibility. She learns to fight with her deadly twin chakrams and discovers that Ka’ru—the living energy carried by warriors—can grow through discipline, pain, combat, and death. But power always asks for more. When Rim is sent into the wilderness alone, survival becomes something darker. Every warrior she defeats strengthens her Ka’ru. Every death makes the hunger easier to obey. Soon, she is no longer killing only because she must. She is killing because she wants what her enemies carry. As the Gia Calling approaches and her family prepares to leave Murder Island behind, Rim must decide whether she controls the darkness growing within her—or whether the darkness has finally learned her name. Rimitorry: Daughter of the Dark Alpha is a young adult dark fantasy novel about family, survival, sisterhood, inherited power, and a young warrior discovering how easily strength can become hunger. It is the first book in the Children of the Dark Alpha series and an entry point into the larger Tribal Universe.
