New September 2005!
Kegedonce Press invites you to begin your journey with Kynship, Book One of
our exciting new Indigenous fantasy trilogy The Way of Thorn and Thunder:
The Everland. Home of the tree-born Kyn since time immemorial, a deep green
world of ancient mystery...and danger. The wyr-powers of the Kyn and the
other
Eld Folk have preserved this wild region from the ravenous hunger of
Humanity
for over a thousand years, but those powers are fast fading away. As the
eyes
of Men turn once more to the Everland and its rich bounty, the leaders of
the
Folk gather in Sheynadwiin, the Kyn capital, hoping to find a way to survive
the growing storm.
She is Tarsa'deshae--the Spearbreaker--a fearless Kyn warrior trained in the
Redthorn ways of battle and blood. She knows her place in the Everland's
cycle
of life and death, and that knowledge gives her strength and purpose. Yet
Tarsa's ordered world is shattered when an act of courage goes horribly
awry,
and her spirit awakens to the wild wyr of her ancestors--powers long
persecuted by the assimilationist Shields and their allies. As she
struggles
to reconcile her former life with the call of the rising bloodsong, Tarsa
joins the summons of the Sevenfold Council, where she is swept into the
struggle between those Folk who would embrace the promises of Men, and those
who would hold fast to the rooted understandings of the Eld Green.
For all who call the Everland home, there can be no middle path. The days
of
peace are quickly coming to an end . . .
"If you love the work of J.R.R Tolkien or the Dragonlance series, you will
love Kynship: The Way of Thorn and Thunder. Behold Oinara! It's Solstice of
the Dragonlance series and Middle Earth all rolled into one. Justice has
created a fantasy epic so rich in history and so complex with all of its
inhabitants and mystery that you're never going to want The Way of Thorn and
Thunder to end. What a treasure for anyone looking for heroes and adventure
in a series based on Aboriginal philosophy and wisdom."
