It is seven years after the collapse of modern civilization, and the world is entering a new Dark Age.

And will they give in to the mutual passion they've always denied?

Don't miss this thrilling prequel story set in the same world as Jeri Smith-Ready's Aspect of Crow trilogy: Eyes of Crow, Voice of Crow and The Reawakened.

Plot Summary: Elysia is living in what's left of Baltimore. Seven years ago there was a great `Collapse' and mankind was returned to the dark-age, but with automatic weapons at their disposal. Gasoline is worth killing for, riots start whenever food appears, and money is worthless. Her former best friend, Darien, steps in just when Elysia is cornered for stealing a bag of apples. Together they escape Baltimore and Darien wants to know if Elysia is still being called by her animal spirit. He wants to convince Elysia to give their relationship a chance, and follow their inner animal guides to find a new beginning for mankind.

I was pressed for time today, so I decided to read this freebie novella I downloaded for my Kindle. It is the prequel story to Jeri Smith-Ready's Aspect of Crow Trilogy, of which I have read the first book, Eyes Of Crow (Aspect of Crow Trilogy). I had assumed this trilogy was based on a pure fantasy construct, but actually it's a tale set on Earth far into the future. This prequel novella tells the story of how our current civilization collapsed, and the group of people who became ancestors to the animal spirit followers in the Aspect of Crow Trilogy.

In general I'm not a short story fan, but within a limited number of pages Smith-Ready wrote a complete tale with a start, middle, end, and a romance to boot. Unfortunately we are not privy to whatever caused the collapse of societies' modern infrastructure, and we're only treated to details about the aftermath. Still, it's a good little story for anyone who wants to read, or has already read, this series.

Next is the trilogy... March 20, 2009

It didn't take long for me to be hooked. I didn't want it to end. It is the prequel to the Aspect of Crow trilogy which includes "Eyes of Crow," "Voice of Crow" and "The Reawakened." Different "animal spirits" have chosen people to start a new life. Each person has certain strengths and skills and they will have to learn to live and work with one another. I'm intrigued and will be reading the trilogy.

I liked it, didn't love it because I think I wanted more. The characters were way over simplified and honestly not that interesting. What was happeneing to them and the world around them now that was great. I'm debating on purchasing the first book in the series.

Interesting story but too short
I really don't know how to judge this story - prequel for a coming trilogy. It was interesting at times, the slip to the dark ages, the savage atmosphere etc. Read more
