Book Description
Michelle West's epic saga of The Sun Sword is set in the same universe as her Sacred Hunt novels, but is greater and richer in scope.

In Sea of Sorrows, the ancient Powers have awakened and new allegiances are forged. As the rightful ruler of the Dominion seeks to overthrow the man who killed his entire family, the Voyani embark upon the Sea of Sorrows to find the lost Cities of Man-a journey that seems certain to lead to a deadly confrontation with the Lord of Night.

Praise for the saga of The Sun Sword:Intriguing. (Locus)

Compelling...a tremendous momentum that will keep you reading far into the night. (Romantic Times)Complex characters and an even more complex plot [will] keep the reader thoroughly engrossed...another great series, one worth the wait between books. (SF Site)

The Barnes & Noble Review
West's fourth installment in her Sun Sword series (The Broken Crown, The Uncrowned King, and The Shining Court) is sure to satisfy hard-core West fans. The story begins by revealing the circumstances behind events in the last novel. The Serra Diora meets with Margret, the new Matriarch of the Arkosa Voyani, and tells her how her mother Evallen died, and just as important, how the Serra came to wear the Heart pendant. There is no love lost between these two. When the Serra tells Margret that she killed her mother, Margret almost snaps; but she calms down long enough to listen to the story. The Serra was, in fact, trying to save her mother and, in the process of doing so, underwent a ritual that made her a blooded Arkosan, a daughter of the Heart. Margret wants the pendant, but she must accompany the Serra on a sacred pilgrimage of epic proportions before she can possess it.

And, of course, there is the awakening of the Powers, the political wrangling between clans and houses, and the escalating war against the nightmarish kialli and their demonic Master!

Devoted Michelle West fans will love her newest shelf-bender. (Paul Goat Allen)
