SUMMARY
---------------------------------------------
Khensa, a girl from the slums, is one of the last of a dying breed. Farro blood courses through her veins and for it she has suffered countless atrocities. Orphaned, kidnapped, imprisoned, and tortured, she endures without knowing if it shall ever end. For eleven months she endures…
Enter Bomani, her unintentional savior. Sent by his father to assassinate the high priest, he finds her, bloody, starved, and naked upon the floor. She is feral and half-crazed and yet still he takes her away. He introduces her to a whole new world – his own.
Together they navigate their way around a fragile society of kings, vendettas, and magic. Their story crosses deserts and mountains. It begins with fire and ends with water.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
---------------------------------------------
Farro would never have been finished without the hounding encouragement from my beta-readers, Max and Rachel, to whom this story is also dedicated. But even after its completion, I would never have braved the waters of publishing if not for the sound advice of that walking thesaurus, my husband. To Angela Taratuta I owe a great deal of gratitude. From my cobbled together descriptions of Khensa, she produced a cover so perfect I nearly cried when I first saw it. No exaggeration.
Then there are those readers that have not only spotted typos while reading Farro, but have been kind and patient enough to point them out to me! Thank you, Marianne Hertzfeld, Bre Pollard, Julia, “Whirlymerle”, Anna Czydel, Annemaria Hunt, “Xee”, Lewis Pollard, “GCD”, and Terez Benoit.
