"Who knew the Shifteria could be so fascinating!"

Fresh Fiction Review

Shifting Plains
Jean Johnson

Reviewed by Kathy Boswell

Paranormal

I dreaded the last Sons of Destiny book so badly because I thought maybe it was the last we'd see of Jean Johnson's fabulous world that she created. I'm so happy to report that I was so very wrong! SHIFTING PLAINS give us insight into the world of the Shifteria and what a world it is!

Tava Ell Var had heard horrific stories about the Shifteria from her adopted father that her deceased mother had told him. She even had to hide her shifting abilities from the villagers. When her father was murdered by bandits, Tava only knew she had to avenge him. When she meets a Shifteria war band while looking for her father's killers, she doesn't know what to do except run away.

Kodan Sin Siin knows Tava's a Shifteria the minute he encounters her. When his band goes into her village, he finds they are mistreating her. He decides that he must take her back with him to meet her people and find that they are nothing like she thought they would be. He makes a deal with Tava that is fair for them both. What he doesn't count on is his deep feelings for her. Can Tava ever trust him enough to see the light?

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this fabulous tale of the Shifteria. There are so many more stories to be told in this fascinating world that Jean Johnson has created. All I can say is Jean, keep feeding my addiction!

SUMMARY

Centuries before the time of the Sons of Destiny, a female shapeshifter became the leader of the people of the Shifting Plains...

Tava Ell Var never really knew her mother, but she did know her tragic fate at the hands of a band of cruel shapeshifters-a history set down by Tava's father as a warning about life on the Shifting Plains. But after her father is murdered, Tava encounters a Shifterai warband fighting to rid the Plains of the terrorizing bandits

Shifterai leader Kodan Sin Siin is sympathetic to Tava's suffering, but he's determined to bring the wary young woman to the Plains. Because he knows her secret: She, like he and his men, is a shapeshifter. Once she joins them, he knows that she will see for herself the true fate that awaits her on the Plains, and most of all, lose her fear of his people. And, in time, he knows she will find her place is in their fight-and by his side.
