The daughters the young women born during the passing of the Great Star possessed strange powers, which often they themselves did not understand. As they came of age, they found themselves estranged from their villages and even from their families. But as they were driven out of their childhood homes, they found one another, gathered together and formed an alliance with the Witches to begin creating a community where they could belong. In this panoramic and exciting prequel to Journey to Zelindar, Diana Rivers portrays a world of strong and sensual women, ready to defend themselves against a hostile world without surrendering their ability to love each other.
