This review is from: Moonspeaker (House of Moons Chronicles) (Paperback)

I enjoyed the story of young Haemas on the run from her home for a crime she doesn't remember committing. She is pursued by both good and evil searchers. The use of psi talents is put to good use by the author. I went directly to the sequel, HOUSE OF MOONS.

This review is from: Moonspeaker (House of Moons Chronicles) (Paperback)

The Kashi Lords of Desalaya can enter the snug warrens of another mind as easily as gold slips through water. This is the world of Haemas, daughter and young heir to the House of Tal'ayn, who must relearn to guard her whispered thoughts and rebuild her powers when she flees her mountain home of Kith Shiene, tormented by half-memories that she may have murdered her father.

Haemas is pursued through the protective psi barrier and into the coarse Chierra lowlands by her cousin, Jarid, who hopes to destroy the only link to the truth locked in Haemas's mind. She is also sought by a trained searcher, Kevisson, intent on returning her to face the Council. But a third power seeks Haemas, one that can remember a time before the Kashi Lords learned to misuse the mysterious ilsera crystals and threaten the very existence of Desalaya.

Moonspeaker is a finely crafted tale to curl up with in front of a fire on a cold night whether you are fond of fantasy or science fiction.
