Fleeing from an unknown past into a dangerous future, a young girl struggles to discover her identity and her fate.
Emergence, being the first part of the tale of the Mark Bearer’s Path, is the story of Melhiera, a young girl who knows nothing of her past. As the country teeters on the brink of civil war, Melhiera flees from the shadow-men that hunt her, and begins to search for any clues that may help her understand what she is. With few friends and only the cryptic words of the gods to help her find the answers she seeks, she comes to realise that she is at the centre of the troubles, and must discover her past in order to remove the shadow cast on the world by her destiny.
