Dust and Water: A Song For The Stained Novella (A MAGICAL SAGA) by Cassandra Webb
Hunter is living a hard life, as an orphan working for his unappreciative uncle he gets little respect. One day he see's a girl (Kemla) take a risk and ask a farming family a favor. He decides to try the same at the next house and winds up sleeping in their barn, eating good whole meals, working for his keep, saving them from bandits, helping Kemla with her slave trader problem though she'll never know it, and earning respect.
But will taking a risk be enough to change his life?
The Song For The Stained series are short reads, averaging 10,000 words, which spin off from the Kemla Saga but are perfectly readable as individual books. They're clean reads, with no sex, no swearing, and little violence with the main character trying to avoid violence and find other solutions. They are also diverse reads, aiming to have a variety of characters in each book.

While this is a quick read, it is fast paced and very action oriented. I enjoyed the main character and meeting the family that will change Hunter's life. There is the potential here for great adventure.
A rural area is threatened by both slave traders and bandits, who, in turn, battle amongst themselves and against each other. City life sounds desolate and corrupt. The farming community is more hospitable to their own kind, but that life is not without danger and challenges.
The story centers on one young boy doing his best to survive.
There is danger, magic, and much to be learned.
I was given this book in exchange for an unbiased review.
