Sayari Before Us All

"Sayari Before Us All: The Fire Inside" by Ri Robertson blends the spirit of Wakanda with the wonder of Avatar in a sweeping coming-of-age fantasy. On the planet Sayari, four tribes have lived for generations under a sacred order that has always kept the world in balance. Each young binadamu is sent to the school of Maisha, where they are trained and prepared before being chosen for the tribe that will shape their future. But the balance of Sayari has been broken. The Moto tribe has ignited a war that now burns across the planet. While many struggle to understand what is happening, Hatimaye feels the truth before anyone else: Sayari is in far greater danger than anyone realizes. As Hatimaye and the other new moons begin uncovering secrets hidden within their world, they soon discover that the fate of Sayari may rest in their hands. And the fire that has begun to spread across the planet may only be the beginning.
