Book Description

October 1, 2004
Ever since witnessing a sacred ritual, Rhenna of the Free People has been isolated. Not outcast, yet not part of her tribe, she walks alone, guarding the land's borders. And growing more troubled by the changes in the wind. Anger and war are rising. The mountain-dwelling shapeshifters--partners to the Free People--are disappearing, and word has come of an evil new god: The Stone God, whose followers are known by the red stones they hold and the chaos that accompanies them.

So when Rhenna hears that shapeshifter has been captured by the Stone God's servants, she must rescue him. Now Rhenna is embroiled in a dangerous game as the forces of evil and nature fight to control humanity's future. Together with a growing band--the enigmatic shaman Tahvo, the panther shapeshifter Cian and the rebel Quintus of conquered Tiberia--she must travel the world, seeking to prevent its destruction.

Whatever danger lies ahead, the downfall of the Stone God has begun. . .

4.0 out of 5 stars THIS SERIES WAS CANCELED BY THE PUBLISHER, December 8, 2006
This review is from: Shield of the Sky (Paperback)
I just wanted to let people know that may think about buying this book and the second one that was released NOT TO. The series was canceled and it would have been much longer than just the two books that came out, so unless you like to not know the end of a story save your money.
I think that AMAZON should be ashamed of themselves for selling this book at full rate when should it be on super clearance. I know that some people here might think that would be a good idea but I found it to be an enjoyable read. Sad to say we will never know the end.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very "Dusty " plot, April 8, 2005
By 
PATRICIA L FARRAR "aunti P" (MABLETON, GA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Shield of the Sky (Paperback)
As a veteran Fantasy fan, I got tired of this storyline years ago. The hero (or heroine, in this case) sets off traveling the world and gathering companions in a quest to save the world from the forces of darkness and evil. From "The Lord of the Rings" to "Star Wars", its been done to death. This is book one, so it mainly just sets the stage and introduces the characters. I expect book two will see the heroes barely avoiding disaster only to triumph in book three. As another reviewer said, if I read the follow-up books, I'll plan to borrow them from the library. Like many of its predecessors, the story seems to drag on and on. I prefer my fiction with a little more hope and optomism.

2.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly disappointing!, October 28, 2004
This review is from: Shield of the Sky (Paperback)
I love Susan Krinard books, so may be I expected too much. The book is actually OK, but I was expecting a romance. This is more a sf/fantasy than romance. If you want romance you don't get ANY. As a fanatasy the book is OK, but the ending leaves you frustrated. You feel like you just spent hours having the scene set for the next book and you really didn't get anything of value out of this one. I won't make this mistake again. I'll get the sequel from the library.
