Fawnna, also known as Whittle Girl, is the lone human residing in the parched lowlands. She lives amongst the Squatchers, a band of towering creatures renowned for their fighting prowess.
Adopted as an infant by Algor, chief of her tribe, Fawnna possesses a unique ability—the talent for whittling—which has served her tribe well over the years. Not only does she whittle essential items for her beloved Squatcher villagers, she joins them in battle and is responsible for carving the weaponry they require to defend the lowlands.
Nearly an adult, Fawnna can’t help but wonder who she is and where she came from. After a series of events, including the arrival of two humans in the lowlands, the murder of her best friend, and her father’s purported death while leading an envoy in search of water, Fawnna is forced to leave her home. She is joined by the humans as she embarks upon a journey for answers about her past and the fate of her father.
