CLICK TO PURCHASE! Yhnez and her tribe journey onwards, north, over barren waste. They follow the Moon Goddess as Yhnez has been united with her and is able to See what lies ahead. Yhnez is pulled by the Goddess in this direction, although great danger lies before them, the Goddess is ever faithful to protect them. On this journey the children learn and grow and discover that some have even more talents than was first thought. Yhnez shows her tribe that she is truly anointed by the Goddess. There are other tribes making their way in the same direction. A group of red-eyes are struggling against the elements. Sickness and bickering could prove to be their downfall. The verritaym’i are on their way too, causing death and destruction wherever they pass. If they meet up with Yhnez and her tribe of children, it could be the end of them.G J Woodrum is truly a talented story teller of the epic fantasy. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and its scope and depth thrilled me. I especially liked that her characters all had their strengths and weaknesses, even Yhnez, who is touched by the Goddess makes mistakes. I found it very exciting reading about the journeys, trials and tribulations and victories of the Children of the Dessert Moon as well as the other characters that have been introduced to this story. This master story teller draws you into the story and you can imagine the heat, the sand, the despair, hunger and thirst that these characters endure. Then there is the viciousness of the verritaym’i. There is no holding back on the violence of this terrible race of beings who rage through the book. The children all become older, wiser and the awakenings of adult feelings are starting to surface. All this and more make for a wonderful read. If you enjoy epic fantasy and are tired of the Tolkien type fantasy, pick up this book and be ready for a truly wonderful time.
