Check out my review of this amazing story here, https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R1IHCG5BML829Z/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_tt.... ( ) When you start this story, Enebish has been maimed, her power to night spin controlled by an implanted moonstone and she's been banished to a monastery where she's constantly harassed by the initiates. Prohibited from going out at night, her only joy comes from training the Sky King's hunting eagles and the good natured torment from Serik, the boy she grew up with. When the two of them are allowed to take the eagles part way to the crown city for a tournament, Serik convinces her to sneak into town so they can enjoy some of the festivities. They're caught and she's in the midst of a very painful and public punishment when a strange trio attempts to rescue her, but fails, their leader, Temujin, tells her to find him. Thus begins a twisty series of events that have Enebish wondering who's telling the truth, what side she should take, who she's really attracted to, and whether there really are gods looking out for her and the downtrodden. Following all the deceptions and sudden turns of events makes this a great read and I'm already anticipating the sequel. no reviews | add a review

"Before the massacre at Nariin, Enebish was one of the greatest warriors in the Sky King's Imperial Army: a rare and dangerous Night Spinner, blessed with the ability to control the threads of darkness. Now, she is known as Enebish the Destroyer--a monster and murderer, banished to a monastery for losing control of her power and annihilating a merchant caravan. Guilt stricken and scarred, Enebish tries to be grateful for her sanctuary, until her adoptive sister, Imperial Army commander Ghoa, returns from the war front with a tantalizing offer. If Enebish can capture the notorious criminal, Temujin, whose band of rebels has been seizing army supply wagons, not only will her crimes be pardoned, she will be reinstated as a warrior."-- No library descriptions found. |
