After the war, Shasha thought she did not have to worry about the dangerous and psychic Tenock race until she found a strange boy hiding out in the desert, a meeting that would change the fate of both their people. He needs to find his people, he wants a friend... #LuckyPit #PopUpPitA #PopUpPit
Endlings - Adult Urban Fantasy To Shasha Cruz the war with the Tenocks was ancient history. She had been told stories of their fierce energy and of them doing unbelievable things like reading minds, moving objects with just thoughts, and burning skin to the bone with just a touch. She thought most of it was exaggerated until while attempting to cross the desert to start a new life, she encounters Maraha, a strange boy hiding in the wilderness. 

 He had been told to wait and hide, for what and who he did not know. He only knew he was desperately lonely and slowly starving. He wanted someone to talk to and find others like him. To make that happen he needed Shasha to take him to the human city, a place of death for his people. It would be a decision that would start a chain of events that would change the fate of both races. 

 Together the pair locate the Tenock underground, the last refuge of those ‘whose faces are known’. They confront the Ranch, a place dedicated to brutally unlocking the secrets of the Tenock's abilities for their own ends. All the while Maraha is unknowingly being followed by those who hold the mysteries of his past and Shasha is given a choice between safety and wielding the abilities of the Tenock herself. They both discover their own power and grapple with increasing yet unspoken feelings between them. They must rely on each other not only for their own survival but the survival of the entire Tenock race.Loneliness
