Book description
In this, the third tale of the Nedao people, Nisana the AEldra of the
cat-kind narrates her experience among the beleaguered humans. She
wishes that there were others left to speak of such a story, yet she is
the only witness able to tell of it. Sharing both the agonies and the
victories of her companion, the warrior queen Ylia, Nisana is determined
to see things through to their conclusion. As Ylia faces insurmountable
odds while trying to survive, it is up to Nisana to nurture the magical
powers within the young queen and teach her how to lead her people.
Nisana the AEldra does not leave her side, even when the terrifying army
of seemings marches on her people, even when the very air hangs heavy
with the blood of the Nedao. Ru Emerson was raised in Butte Montana
(which she claims explains a lot), and after entirely too many years in
some of the seedier neighborhoods of Los Angeles, moved to rural Oregon,
where she has lived for the past 13 years with Doug (aka 'The Phantom
Roommate'), several dogs, rabbits, pigeons, two cats and a furry
daughter named Roberta. She has written and sold 17 novels, including
the popular NIGHT THREADS 6-volume series, and the first three tie-in
novels based on the hit TV Series XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS. Her novels are
also currently in print in Germany, England, Spain and Italy. When not
buried in research or actively writing, Emerson can be found running,
mountain biking, gardening, weight training or flying two and four-line
stunt kites on the Oregon Coast.
