Legends of the Serai
"Three Stones - Three Powers - Three Lives Intertwined - Young Cara'sen is Moon-Chosen, Lead-Officer in the Overseer's Special Guild, descendant of a goddess, and the estranged daughter of a powerful admiral.

Yet how can she control these forces when they are embodied in the two men who are torn apart by their desire for her? One is sunborn, the other tempered by fire; both threaten to destroy everything she loves the most. It will call for much more than her sword skills to solve the puzzle of the legends of the Serai...."

Review
Legends Of The Serai is a finely wrought piece of work that grips the reader from the first page. Cara is a brave and talented heroine, torn for her love of the men around her, including the father who she felt disavowed her. Cara’s world is full of danger, and she leads the reader through a virtual labyrinth of sorcery, adventure, and fantasy. J.C. Hall is careful not to give too much away, thus opening the way for a series, much to the delight of the reader.
