Now Brierley hides in the mountains, working her way through a tangled nest of secrets and lies in an attempt to bring her people, and their power for good, back into the world.While she does this, her true love has a daunting task: it is up to him to convince his countrymen to find their way past centuries of hate and distrust. For if he cannot do so, not only will Brierley and her dreams for the future be lost to him forever, but his own people may well face the same sort of destruction they wreaked upon the Sh'ari...
From the Back Cover
Praise for Diana Marcellas's Mother Ocean, Daughter Sea
"Mother Ocean, Daughter Sea is a beautifully written, often lyrical novel. The textures of myth and fantasy are firmly interwoven to support very realistic characters. Combining witchcraft with healing, although in an otherworld setting, is true to earth's own ancient traditions of witchcraft. The relationship between Brierley and Megan in particular will draw in the reader who remembers the prickly path of parent-and-child. Having created such a believable world Marcellas leaves the door open for further exploration. I, for one, look forward to it eagerly."-Morgan Llywelyn
"Mother Ocean, Daughter Sea is a compelling tale. . . . Marcellas has crafted an often poignant, wholly mesmerizing fantasy that is captivating in its depth of language and emotion. Readers will immerse themselves into a new land that will be hard to relinquish at the end of the book."-Romantic Times (4 1/2 stars)
"A hauntingly beautiful story, rich in texture and language, with a fascinating mythos and well-drawn, compelling characters. Marcellas weaves a tapestry of words, blending the legends of an all-but-forgotten power with the political intrigue of the seaside realm that sought to obliterate it, against the ever-darkening backdrop of the Beast in the depths waiting to consume them both. Riveting!"-Elizabeth Haydon
