Alkaia, the komandiri warrior of Enyalia, has been exiled from her homeland with nothing to help her survive--all because she dared free the man Theron from certain death. However, she is not alone: the infant son she bore is with her and he is even more vulnerable than she. Now, she must find a way to use that vulnerability to turn the odds in her favor.
The question is: whose death will she have to exact in order to save her son?
Readers of Water Witch will find this background supernatural fantasy novella full of historical intrigue, enchantment, and old world mythology.

Sons of Alkaia is book 3 in the Tales from Etlantium series: a prequel series to Elemental Magic.

Thea Atkinson writes character driven fiction to the left of mainstream; call it what you will: she prefers to describe her work as psychological dramas with a distinct literary flavour. Her characters often find themselves in the darker edges of their own spirits but manage to find the light they seek.
She has been an editor, a freelancer, and a teacher, but fiction is her passion. She now blogs and writes and twitters. Not necessarily in that order.
