NuWorld: The Saga Begins

Tara is a Runner who has heard many stories of the brutish Gothman people. At her Age of Searching she has decided to visit the home of a Gothman woman, Reena, to try and understand them. As a Runner, she cannot understand a race of people who would only teach half of their people how to defend themselves. Gothman women seem to be nothing more than slaves to their stronger men. While observing the lifestyle of the Gothman, Tara is claimed by Darius, their leader. Tara has no idea that she has been claimed and finds that the Gothman have discovered her Runner bike and know that a Runner is in their midst.

Darius has always had any woman he’s wanted. When he sees the gorgeous woman help his brother in a way that no Gothman woman would, he knows that he’s found his Runner. He hires her to help at his home and finds that she is a fascinating woman with a will as strong as his own. They come together in an epic that spans years of mind-bending adventures.

This is an amazing book. The effort that went into writing this book is awe-inspiring. To take the time to completely create a world from the ground up and to people it with different races that are very different is just phenomenal. The characters that Ms. O’Clare brought to life in this epic are flawed, but real. Tara has too much pride in herself and in her people, and Darius believes that the Gothman way is the only way. I cried and hurt along with these people and was sorry to see the story end. There were too many things happening in this story for me to address them all. I highly recommend this book and hope that you enjoy it as much as I have.
