Synopsis "The Town"
Caden has never known his mother. According to pretty much everyone he knows, she died in a fire around the same time Moon was abandoned. But Caden has always hoped and dreamed that, just maybe, possibly, potentially, she was alive. When the Village is destroyed by Imia's flood and Elder Wolfsfend puts Caden in charge of leading Moon, the wolves, and Hope, the Village baker, and Leo, a carpenter's apprentice, to the Town to bring back supplies, Caden sees it as the perfect opportunity to find his mother. After all, Moon's mother, Sarah, was recorded as having been in the Town-why not his own?Unfortunately, nobody else sees it that way.Meanwhile, Jack, Caden's ex-best-friend, is also heading to the Town in order to kickstart his dream, regardless of whether Caden still wants to be in it. During his journey he encounters a mangled wolf and rescues her in an attempt to do the right thing. She only looks blood-red in certain lighting. Of course she isn't Imia, that would mean he's been traveling with someone who destroyed their Village and tried to kill him. Just because he never actually saw Imia during the battle doesn't mean he wouldn't recognize her when he saw her.Right?At Society of Young Inklings, our mission is to inspire youth authors and to help them move the big ideas from their heads and hearts onto the page.
