Description
The war is over between the neighboring realms of Canderis and Marchmont. But another and perhaps far deadlier battle still rages on. The discovery that Marchmont is home to the Resonants--men and women gifted with the ability to read and control the minds of others--has badly shaken the people of Canderis. For while they value their own Seekers--humans who empathically bond with the catlike ghatti to read truth--they are deathly afraid of the rogue Resonants known as Gleaners. And their show more fears are well-founded, for one faction of Gleaners has for years preyed upon the innocent and defenseless, transforming those around them into mindless, soulless slaves. And even as Seeker Jenret under takes a mission to find the Resonants of Canderis and bring them to safety, Seeker Doyce is about to embark on a far different path--a ghatti-led journey into the past. For as a new vigilantes' reign of terror threatens the lives of Seekers and Resonants alike, the secrets of that long-ago time when the first Seeker-ghatti Bond was formed may hold the only hope for the future... show lessTags

I thought the ending of the conflict wrapped up a little too neatly, but I still enjoyed the ride.

- Dedication
- It seems as if the lasy eighteen months have been fraught with tragedy for many of us with beloved companion animals. Those of you who've followed me through Book Two know that I lost Tulip shortly after her 20th birthday. Tu... (show all)lip's successor, Angel, basked in two months' worth of love before she reluctantly left me. The following list commemmorates eleven cats (and one collie) who are also mourned and missed: Alec, beloved of Betty and Diane D.-D. Pumpkin, beloved of Helen, Dennis and Stephanie D. Tristan and Gypsy, beloved of Lori D. Butch, beloved of Mary Jane H. Shadow, beloved of Susan H. Chloe, beloved of Mary K. Harlan, beloved of Ira S. Dinah, beloved of mary and Larry S. Kisu, beloved of Anna-Liisa W. Hopper, beloved of Liz W. Sweetie and Kinko's Mama, beloved of Sue Y. And most especialy to those nameless, lost ones who never received the loving hearts and homes they so richly deserved. Please support your local humane societies and remember that mature animals, not just puppies and kittens, need your love.
- First words
- She strode purposely, with the gait of someone confident of her goal, though she lacked a clue, desperate to remember which street came next, whether the dogleg swung her back to city or not.
- Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)He tilted his head back and bayed at the moons until the very air quivered with madness.
