An excellent copy. It is considered a book for teams but if you enjoy
fantasy books give it a read. I couldn't put it down.
Whispers stirred in Bryn's ears.
One word was clear, spoken in a voice
that rang through her mind like a bell. Prophecy. The wind increased, grew
louder, whistling now,
taking hold of her, bringing with it a storm of change. Oh yes, change would
come, blowing sorrowfully
across the land. Not only for Bryn, but for
the Queen of Sorana.
Bryn's arm lifted, her finger pointing
at Princess Zorienne. "Beware his death," she whispered. "His sleeping
death."
A child born to such a calling is often called a dreamer...
Bryn is a humble stonecutter's daughter,
accustomed to being tagged the odd one, the strange
girl, the shiftless creature. She is disturbed by visions of things no one
else can see, sneered at because she talks to the wind and sky. Why, then,
does the village priest think so highly of her?
But the day comes when a spinning thistledown leads Bryn to her destiny-to
a place very
different from the tiny village where she has
spent her first fifteen years. She enters the famous
Temple of the Oracle, and discovers that her innate gifts make her a
terrifying threat to those who seek to abuse the Temple's power for their
own glory.
Though her desires are simple-friendship with
other handmaids, and gaining the love of Kiran,
a remarkable horse-trainer-she soon finds her path
obscured by complex troubles. Struggling to keep the flame of her spirit
pure and bright, Bryn must
overcome more obstacles than she could ever imagine.
This extraordinary novel sweeps you into a world
that can almost be touched-one whose people and
colors remain in your mind for days after the book is closed.
