Publisher Description
Ran-Del Jahanpur still doesn’t know what his clan shaman foresaw in his vision of the future. Whatever the old man saw made him force Ran-Del to leave the forest and marry Baron Hayden's daughter. In spite of minor jealousies, Ran-Del and Francesca have forged a strong marriage. Ran-Del is still a warrior, but he's comfortable in the city partly because few people know of the psy abilities that make him so useful to the House of Hayden. Francesca is happy Ran-Del can see her thoughts well enough to know her feelings for her old flame Freddie Leong have cooled. Fortunately, psy talents are rare in the city, and no one knows the true circumstances of her marriage, not even Freddie. As heir to House Leong, Freddie has his own problems; he spends his days trying to escape his mother's iron control and ensure she never kills his father.
But not all the dangers of Haven lie in the cities. In the mountains to the north, the fiercely independent people known as the Horde have changed their ways. Instead of fighting among themselves and raiding in force, they now use cunning to get what they need. When the Horde strikes, Ran-Del and Francesca face a threat far worse than either of them ever imagined. And then finally, Ran-Del confronts his destiny.
Customer Reviews
A sequel and more
After reading this book's prequel, finding out what happened to the characters kept me reading late.
Action seemed forced and sluggish in the first pages, but as with life, got lively and kept my interest.
It is tempting to project a next chapter of this saga of Haven as its transplanted peoples grow into strength through interdependence, possibly to repel an unforeseen threat.
But, time and maybe a next sequel will tell.
No safe haven
Very good read, could not stop reading.
Great sci fi
So far I have really enjoyed the stories written by this author. This one is also an enjoyable read. If there is one criticism that I have is that the romances of the side characters progress too quickly, however this may have been necessary to preserve the pacing of the story.
