Produktbeschreibung

The Rider of Blizzards and Wind is gone. With the willing help of the zora of Honar and their Honari cavalry companions, Senra must navigate Elroi back into life without the assistance and advice of her friend. As she does so, lost Elroi begins to waken, bringing stability and purpose to the dispossessed from Honar and the other breeds of man who settle there. Gradually each group becomes accustomed to the different appearances and customs of the others, although some of the old tensions inevitably remain.

Despite this, all appears peaceful. But when the benevolent northern Emperor dies, his war-like successor declares war on Elroi and sends forth his forces bent on conquest. Once again, the ageing zora and their cavalry counterparts, assisted by their inexperienced and non-military compatriots, must take to the battlefield; but this time the result has the potential to undo all that they have achieved.

Senra's twin children, Tafrine and Hariol, must learn how to rule the awakening land, supported by their aunt and Ritilise the madam, guided by their mother's friend Linfarr. But the actions of one of them are controlled by a malevolent being from Farr's past that seeks only her destruction, actions that could de-stabilise the emerging nation. Only the difference between the children and the other breeds of man can stop it.

But it is not the lessons in statecraft, riding, self-defence or the many other things the twins must learn that enables them to finally unravel the secret of Elroi.

Autorenporträt

Daughter of a career diplomat, Kerry grew up in Australia and postings in New Zealand, Africa, Europe and Asia, a mobile childhood that probably stimulated the imagination and certainly ended up with an eclectic education. She graduated from the then Canberra College of Advanced Education, with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Biology), a degree which focused mainly upon ecological conservation. She entered the Australian Public Service as a base-grade clerk in 1980 and spent over twenty years in the service. This was followed by a brief foray as a natural resource consultant and a slightly longer time as a fitness personal trainer, before retiring from paid employment. She lives in Canberra with four cats and an collection of (largely unfinished) projects, varying from further writings to drawings, woodworks and her garden. It has been a lifetime of writing, sketching and generally trying to create things, with mixed success but (usually) a lot of enjoyment.
