Description: In this compelling novel Sayo's Secret, by author Sherry Derr-Wille we are introduced to a people who are ruled by years of tradition quite unlike our own. They have a High Priest, Priestess, and Head of their tribe all ruled by a group they call Man God's, who are in turn ruled by the One God. We meet young Sayo, a mere boy who is soon to become the High Priest over his village and will face challenges a man twice his age would find almost unsurpassing. He is different than those who ruled before him, many of the sacrifices that are performed, many of the traditions he sees, he questions. As Sayo struggles to perform in his new position as High Priest he makes some grave errors and loses the joy and love of his life; in doing he forces the One God to punish him and the elders of the village with him that will now lead to a different life than any of them imagined, but the details of that are saved for the next work and leave you grabbing at the air for a conclusion that you have to have. Good job! We are also introduced to other players in this saga, each one rich in character development such as the High Priestess Dosta, a cold dark woman whose hatred and jealousy will play a major role in the future of this village and a secret concerning a young girl named Noya who intermingles with Sayo and births both the death and the beginning of a new era for these people. This is book one of a trilogy that takes the reader into book 2 the reincarnation of Noya and Sayo
