The angelic amüli race has spent thousands of years
perfecting immortality by binding their souls to human hosts. That tenuous
grasp on life is slipping because an increasing number of stillborn amüli
infants are born without souls.
When Marik’s daughter is born Unsouled, he strives to find
out why. Many amüli believe disease is to blame for the Unsouled births, but
Marik believes his half-human cousin Clae may be the real catalyst. The Amüli Republic’s
oligarchy refuses to take a public stance on Clae’s involvement, instead
instructing Marik to capture him in secrecy. Should Clae’s association with the
Unsouled epidemic become public, the amüli would rise against all half-breeds
and throw the Republic into chaos.
If Marik captures Clae and proves he is causing the
mysterious deaths, the Republic may flourish once more. If he fails, his people
will descend into a bitter civil war, destroying everything they have
accomplished.

After centuries of religiously motivated war, the world
has been split in two. Now the Blessed Lands are ruled by pure faith, while in
the Republic, reason is the guiding light—two different realms, kept apart and
at peace by a treaty and an ocean.
Children of the Republic, Helena and Jason were inseparable
in their youth, until fate sent them down different paths. Grief and duty
sidetracked Helena’s plans, and Jason came to detest the hollowness of his
ambitions.
These two damaged souls are reunited when a tiny boat from
the Blessed Lands crashes onto the rocks near Helena’s home after an impossible
journey across the forbidden ocean. On board is a single passenger, a
nine-year-old girl named Kailani, who calls herself “The Daughter of the Sea
and the Sky.” A new and perilous purpose binds Jason and Helena together again,
as they vow to protect the lost innocent from the wrath of the authorities, no
matter the risk to their future and freedom.
But is the mysterious child simply a troubled little girl
longing to return home? Or is she a powerful prophet sent to unravel the fabric
of a godless Republic, as the outlaw leader of an illegal religious sect would
have them believe? Whatever the answer, it will change them all forever… and
perhaps their world as well.

Praise for
The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky
:
“The
Daughter of the Sea and the Sky
by David Litwack
is a stunningly constructed story of a young girl who is deeply troubled but
goes out of her way to help others. Tender yet tense, it is a story that
explores the issue of faith and reason, and the wisdom and discernment to
choose between right and wrong. David Litwack’s exquisitely crafted story is
thoughtful, passionate and simply delightful.” –

“This is a tale of the heart and soul, of the beautiful
yearning for meaning, and of how it can be found in the union of faith and
reason, as well as in creativity. Everything, Litwack seems to say, points to
Spirit. In this novel, nature itself embodies the spiritual world. The farm’s
overseer, Sebastian, knows this well, for he has been at the farm for many
years, and is completely attuned to the rhythm of the seasons. I’m delighted to
have truly found nothing negative to say about this book.
The Daughter of
the Sea and the Sky
is a beautiful, moving novel, one that I predict will
become an instant classic, especially in the literature of spirituality. It is
a novel to be treasured and re-read many times, not only for its beauty, but
for its thought-provoking treatment of universal themes.” –
A Night’s Dream
of Books
“First off, let me start by saying this book is something
special. I don’t say that often, but there is something un-pinpoint-able and
undefined that is wholly beautiful, endearing and magical about this book and
the story. I’m going to lay this at the author’s feet. If this author brings
out another book, you can bet I’ll snap it up as soon as it’s in print, because
I can tell from this one alone that me and David’s books are going to be
lifelong friends.” –
