Taylok is a prequel to "The Cavern" by Allen Mabra. Set in Rockworld, the natives have been trapped in the cavern for thousands of years, no longer realizing that an outside world exists. By the age of three, Taylok is exceptional, having entered a sling contest with surprising results. Tragedy strikes when Taylok and her mother are captured by Xantopec, leader of the Sun God cult, bent on murder and blinding. If Taylok escapes death, she must learn to cope with blindness in the cavern. Her friend, Flint, and mentor, Shotai, help, but will she ever be "normal" again? Taylok is plagued with brutality from a few warriors and betrayal by some of her friends as she struggles through a difficult life in Rockworld. When Taylok saves a family from evil Pebblic, some consider her a hero, but others think she is a witch. Fourth level of Eldar Temple may offer a way out, but death is more likely.
