While the human race experienced its dark ages, the Zatherean race was born. Sonora, once a powerful Thunderbird from the heavens, transformed her body into a semi human form and left her home forever. All this she did for the human she loved. She still retained the wings that extended from her back; their pure white a sign of her royalty. From Sonora, the Zatherean race flowed and grew... but only her direct heir was gifted with the white wings of the Zan and leader. For centuries the Zathereans lived in hiding, secluded from the human race. Eventually that was not an option as both peoples were growing quickly. So Soroson, Sonora's grandson, led their people to a planet that they could call their own. However, they were not alone. Another race known as the Pathonians, their origins a mix of human and Shadow Dogs, were intent on taking the planet for themselves. Under Soroson's guidance, the Pathonians were defeated. Sixteen years later, the Pathonians returned in vengeance, taking the lives of nearly every Zatherean except Soroson's daughter and heir Aleon. Now it's up to her, a fourteen year old girl, to protect what's left of her race from total extinction. What if everything you loved was taken from you? What if the only thing standing between life and extinction was you? Aleon struggles with these realities as she is forced into command at a young age. Will she have what it takes to lead the Zathereans? Find out in Casandra Munoz's debut novel, The Zan of Zatheran.
