Voices in the Wind
by Stephanie Parker McKean
Rating: 4.8 #ad
Two accusations of murder against her, a lack of belief in God and a loveless marriage cause Rhoda to label herself as “unlucky,” so when she hears voices in the wind, she follows them.
Rhoda finds herself in a land that exceeds all her dreams and expectations, as do the two men vying for her love—rain man Tal and sun man Victor. She could have it all, but Treasury is God’s secret holding place for rain and wind. Rhoda must prove herself worthy to the Protectors who guard Treasury.
To prove her worthiness, Rhoda must ascend dangerous Verboten Mountain to bring back a jar of dry dirt. Verboten is as forbidden as its name and to succeed in her quest, Rhoda faces warlike cave men, dinosaur birds, enormous serpents and an army of Great Dane-sized Bullet Train Ants.
Even deadlier, Rhoda faces the truth about her past and the age old question: is God real?
