Compass(ion). Heart of Elesara, #1

Death, threats, and worry. Was it better to revolt? Was it even possible? Shipwrecked and barely alive, Weston washes ashore on the wrong side of a tropical island. Here, food is a privilege and death a looming certainty - but a flourishing village lies across the ridge. The land is fertile and the sea full of fresh fish. Why won't the starving men Weston meets take any steps to save their own lives?In this tale of greed, hope, and desperation, Weston's struggle for freedom from the island becomes a story of people at their best and worst.
While Weston fights for his life, the men of the island contend for a more elusive and fundamental right - the power to fight for anything at all.
