THE DEAD CRY OUT TO HER…
In pain, in fear, and in longing—with every passing Rhia hears the cries of the departed. This "gift" from the ancient and mysterious Crow gives Rhia an intimate connection to death. One that holds her soul hostage to enemies from the Other Side, even as her people are threatened by the enemies they call Descendents.
But a new prophecy offers hope: Rhia's infant son may hold the key to freedom. And then he is stolen from her. To save her family, protect her home, and reclaim her soul, Rhia will travel as far as she must.
To the Descendants' towering white city…or even to the Land of the Dead itself.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Mystical Native American ambiance blends with epic romantic fantasy as a clash between culture and religion escalates in Smith-Ready's intriguing sequel to Eyes of Crow. The Asermon and Kalindon tribes, guided by the guardian spirits of animals, are at war with the Ilions, who prefer man-made gods. Rhia is a shape-shifter whose guardian spirit, Crow, allows her to listen to the voices of the dead. After her newborn son, Nilik, is stolen by the Ilions, she must use this skill to help find him and his father, Marek, who goes with his son despite knowing he'll be enslaved. Nilik is soon marked for a camp where he and other shapeshifter children are to be used as a magical fighting force against their own people. Smith-Ready's fascinating world is diminished somewhat by her meandering, vanilla prose.
