Moons' Dancing — Susan Sizemore

New York Times bestselling author Susan Sizemore and co-writer Marguerite Krause weave a tale of intrigue and magic, love and sacrifice in the Children of the Rock fantasy duology.

In a world under three moons, in the courts and villages of three kingdoms, the fate of the Dreamers is at stake. Only Dreamers can bend the power of the gods and perform the magic that holds chaos at bay. But a recent plague has ravaged the population and damaged, perhaps irreparably, the very fabric of society. Most Shapers no longer believe in magic, and many Keepers no longer see any need for it.

In this, Book Two of Children of the Rock, the lives and paths of all the characters from Book One (Moons' Dreaming) are drawn inexorably together.

Vray returns home from exile, putting a childhood infatuation to use in her confrontation with her brother Damon. In Dherrica, Palle and his fugitive nephew Pirse continue their deadly serious cat-and-mouse game, which has assumed new significance with the birth of Pirse and Doron's Dreamer daughter. The danger of full-blown war looms, with violence, madness, and death threatening all three kingdoms, from the royal estate in Sitrine to the country lanes of Broadford to Morb's humble cave, gateway to the realms of the Others. The birth of more Dreamer children is essential, if all of the kingdoms are to be saved. But even the best-laid plans and personal courage of Vray and her allies may not be enough to prevent Damon's thirst for power from destroying them all.
