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!
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.
