When a deadly reptilian tribe seeks to invade the lands guarded by the Elanraigh, it is up to the people of Allenholme to defend their beloved land; even if it means forming an alliance with the feared Ttamarini. Young Thera, destined to be a Salvai more powerful than her predecessor, has a bond with the sacred guardian of her lands that is unlike any other. It is up to her to use this ability to protect her people and their allies.Ultimately, this is a coming of age story. Thera must learn to control her developing power in the midst of war, youthful attraction and a tremendous amount of loss. The story is written in an easy style that kept me turning the pages. However, I read more to see how the story ended than because I cared about any of the characters. Most of the  story if written from Thera's viewpoint; the few shifts in narrator are done abruptly.Ms. Hunter's story had real potential and could have been excellent if more time had been spent developing the characters and the story line.Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy of this book for the purpose of reviewing it.
