'Glenda Larke is one of my favorite fantasy writers. I love her novels!' Kate Elliott 'Glenda Larke is magical. If you don't read her, you're missing out on a treat' Karen Miller
Product Description
The last Stormlord is dead - and war has arrived. The nomadic Reduners have put the Quartern's rainlords to the sword, leaving their cities without water or hope. Shale still lives, despite being betrayed, drugged and sold to his greatest enemy. Yet Shale needs his adversary more than his freedom, as thousands will die if they don't channel the rains together. For Shale isn't a Stormlord in his own right - at least, not yet. Only Terelle could help him now, but she's a prisoner herself and far from home. And a new force is rising in the desert. While kept as a Reduner whore, Rainlord Ryka Feldspar witnesses a power that can move the sands themselves. The Reduners are hailing this power as god-given, and its impact could transform a world.

The second title in Glenda's Stormlord series and one that continues to build upon the success of the original which before we go any further, I'd advising that you read before starting this one. What Glenda does very well, for those unfamiliar with her previous body of work, is great characterisation, they're realistic, they're fully formed and they past events as well as choices form the events of the present and even influence occurrences in the future. It's beautifully written, the action fast paced and when backed with the sheer skill of an established author demonstrates why she is one to pick up.
Finally add a great overall story arc as well as a lot of threads to interweave into the next title that could go either way and the reader is left guessing in Glenda's shades of grey world which makes this an excellent title and one that we can't wait for the third instalment for.

The middle book of a trilogy set in a world where water is a scarce resource and must be manipulated by a group of people called Rainlords and Stormlords.
The story continues on seamlessly from the truly excellent first book.
Ms Larke has the ability to write beautifully and it is a pleasure to read her prose.
Her characters and the world they live in are described so well that it is simple to work out who's who, even though there are many, many people contributing to the story.
Her main protagonists are Shale, a Stormlord brought up in the desert and, in the first book, completely ignorant of his abilities, and Terelle, an orphan, originally a snuggery maid, soon to be promoted to snuggery woman once as she comes of age.
In this second book Shale becomes Jasper Bloodstone, a fully fledged Stormlord who is still, however , unable to move extract water from the sea without the aid of Lord Tanquar, his rival and bitter enemy.
Terelle possesses a different kind of water magic, she can paint the future events that she wants to occur, although sometimes the results are not what she wanted or expected. She and Shale become allies and their relationship develops into a romantic one, hindered only by the necessity for Shale to marry another rainlord in order to hopefully produce children with the ability to become the next generation of Stormlords.
Add to these two many other wonderful character, both noble and evil, and you have an extremely interesting book.
I'm looking forward to the final installment a great deal.

this is one of my fantasy musts, I love the idea behind this book, it takes you to a world filled with characters that you can relate too. It is one of the books tha had me wanting to scream becuase I had to wait for the next to come out. It was that good.
the plot moves at a pace that lets you grow each character with loads of plot and storyline, it creates depth and leaves you satisfied. It is an excellent series which I cant rate highly enough!
Glenda has written another series which I also hold in high reguard she is just one of those writers that are amazing from the first to the last word!
