Jatta (novel)
''Jatta'' is a fantasy novel by Australian author and illustrator Jenny Hale. Set in an alternate world, its heroine Jatta discovers in the days before her fourteenth birthday that she is a werewolf. As the wolf inside Jatta grows, it continues to morph. When it impinges on her waking hours, Jatta realises her personality will disintegrate. Eventually none of her gentle humanity will be left.
The novel deals with themes of forgiveness and how we are sculpted by family and culture. It investigates societies by contrasting Jatta’s pacifist, compassionate and vulnerable ‘Alteeda’ with the brutal, militarily successful Kingdom of Dartith. Once in Dartithan custody, both Jatta and her brother Arthmael are faced with impossible decisions: whether to choose others’ deaths, thus compromising their own souls.
== Setting ==
Aerth is a world not unlike our own, with Renaissance housing and fashions, archaic weapons, and twentieth-century medicine. However, for seven thousand years its kings have relied on its demi-Godlike Sorcerers for guidance. Each Sorcerer is a human entrusted from birth with wisdom and magic. Past Sorcerers have created Aerth’s dragons from assortments of prehistoric bones, and have resurrected pterodactyls and created other hybrid creatures. One Sorcerer, Andro Mogon, created Undeath.
Thus began his three thousand year reign. The Undead Sorcerer Andro Mogon sealed off his homeland of Dartith and created one final, nightmare breed. Wolves.
