Book Description:
The world of Lyra is the world of two moons which humans share with the folk of magic; the silvery people of the ancient Shee, the elusive forest-dwelling Wyrd, and the dreaded Shadow Born, whose evil seeps into men's hearts and the shadows of the world.

In this brand-new Lyra adventure, a proud young woman of the Cilhar, the legendary warrior tribe, must leave her mountain stronghold to travel to the city and accomplish a bitter task. Her mother, a soldier, died in the line of duty there: suddenly, and mysteriously. Among the few possessions she has left behind is the beautiful Raven Ring--an ancient family heirloom that is much, much more than it seems.

Retrieving her mother's ring is a simple matter--but getting it home again will prove no easy task. There are dark forces at work in the Lyra, determined to claim the ring for their own. She will need to discover the secret of the ring before she returns to the mountains she loves. Otherwise, she shall not leave the city streets with body, soul and heart intact....

A straightforward fantasy by the author of the popular Calling on Dragons series; this is for adults. Not terribly original, but not bad.

When Cilhar warrior Eleret Salven travels from her mountain homeland to the city of Ciaron to claim the effects of her mother-who has died in battle-she becomes target to a host of enemies intent on acquiring her mother's possessions for their own purposes. Set in the lands of Lyra, this fantasy adventure by Wrede (Mairelon the Magician, LJ 5/15/91) blends action, intrigue, and romance. Clever dialog and engaging characters add further spice to this magical comedy of manners. Suitable for adult and YA fantasy collections.



Very enjoyable fantasy, suitable for young adult and adults who are looking for sex in their books, but adventure and young love.
