    About this ebook

    Without Wade and Yori to protect her, Kaela must face the enchantress Mavyn alone and determine what to do next. But as the city's guards close in, Kaela is forced to once again find help from an unexpected source.

    The Outcast and the Survivor is a chapter-series that follows Kaela, a princess of the mythical kingdom of Kalepo. After her father's sudden death, Kaela is exiled from the kingdom by her older sister Mariam, who claims their father's throne within moments of his passing. By being made an outcast, Kaela is forced not only to say goodbye to her homeland, but also to all of civilization. Kalepo is known only to itself, meaning that Kaela should expect to find a world devoid of humanity beyond the kingdom's borders, but because of something her father whispered to her on his deathbed, she knows that there is more out there, a world of dark secrets for her to discover.

    The Outcast and the Survivor is released one chapter at a time at the start of each month. There were times in the past when writers would release stories as a series, often for newspapers or magazines. It's not much different from TV series in that each chapter often has its own sort of conclusion, though the larger story is not completed until the end. The series is being written with the intent of ending it at chapter 36, which is scheduled for December of 2017, though this could change as the story develops.

    Author

    Trevor A. A. Evans

    Trevor wrote a story for himself when he was young divided into three parts: go to college, become a lawyer, and be happy. But when the first part was done, he stood at the edge of a cliff, staring down into the despairing depths of part two, and thought, "Nahhh." Instead, he skipped right on over to part 3, which he discovered creating stories and worlds while marrying the girl of his dreams. At the ripe old age of 29 with plans to write new series in fantasy and science fiction, Trevor's just getting started.

      Chapter Eight

      Mavyn’s eyes are on me, but I don’t know what to say.

      How could any power take a person from one world to another? The question of course sounds silly when considering that people are brought into these plains in such a manner, but that somehow feels different, almost natural, an unexplainable phenomenon like an earthquake or a storm. But for a person to take the power of an object and do the same, well, it sounds as fantastic as commanding the clouds to rain.
