Lieta began her life abandoned at an abbey and since a babe was able to copy other talents and make them her own.  She was cared for and loved and her upbringing was overseen by Mother and Father.  Mother and Father took the form of trees but I believe they were the planet and all that naturally grew in the soil.  Very powerful beings and they left seeds through many universes.  Lieta was a descendant of such offsprings.  It seemed that many of the offsprings became very powerful and some became insane and instead of living with others they became hurtful, evil creatures that used their talents to overpower and call themselves Gods.  Lieta was recruited to help the Citadel personnel take care of what they believed was one of these Gods and remove him from the planet he ruled over.  What she found was Muraz who was searching for a female he could reproduce with.  She found he never used his power to hurt anyone and he was quite surprised when she was able to capture him quite easily.  After some time of helping the Citadel and witnessing some gruesome things on behalf of these so called Gods, Lieta was changed and disheartened.  She had always used her power to protect and keep others safe, not one to overlord or use her power to persuade them.  Muraz was also a good soul and Mother and Father decided he would be good for Lieta and to help her deal with the horrors she would see and have to do while curtailing these God like talents.  I actually liked Muraz's character and felt that the author did a good job in creating someone who could compliment Lieta and not let ego or pride interfere with her superior power.  Lieta as well was a well liked character and drew others around her because of her good soul and just knowing they were safe in her presence.  The Citadel personnel were not entirely convinced that she was all she portrayed or what the others thought but their jobs were to look out for those who abused their talents at the expense of other's lives.  I think this would make a great beginning to other books for both the Citadel and for Lieta and Muraz.
