Vartan, Lara's husband, is dead by the hands of his
brother, leaving Lara no choice but to follow her destiny
once again. With war on the horizon with Hetar and the
clans of the Outlands vastly outnumbered, she turns to
Archeron, the Coastal King. In doing so, she learns her
future lies across the sea in a strange new land named
Terah.
Terah is a beautiful land rich in greenery and peace. Lara
soon finds herself lifting a curse, making a deal to
save the Outlanders and falling for the Dominus of
Terah.
On the other side of the ocean, Gaius Prospero, who's
becoming more and more powerful with his newly bought
title, plans an attack. Being Emperor has only
disillusioned him more. Taking for granted all that he has
and what he believes he deserves, he doesn't see the shadow
that plots against him.
This second book in Bertrice Small's Hetar series
shows more of Lara's powers and more insight to what makes
this character so dynamic. With a strong storyline, humor,
love and the challenges faced makes this book a worthwhile
read. I do recommend reading LARA: Book One of the
World of Hetar to understand more of Lara's life with
Vartan because this one really doesn't get into it very
much. In A DISTANT TOMORROW, the story does go into the
rest of Lara's history, but not so much as to bore someone
who's read the first book.
All in all, this book is great and imaginative with
lovable characters sure to stay with you for a long time.
Ms. Small keeps you wanting more and hopefully she won't
make us wait to long.
Five years have now passed since the Winter War between the
Outlands and Hetar. But Gaius Prospero has not given up his
scheme to become emperor, and unexpected tragedy causes
Lara to once again heed the pull of her destiny. Finding
herself across the sea in a secret new world known as
Terah, she discovers that her magical abilities grow
greater with each passing day.
Using her newfound powers, Lara lifts an ancient curse from
the men of Terah, earning its ruler's gratitude -- and his
deep and passionate love. Magnus Hauk has never known a
woman like Lara, and his fascination leads him to venture
back across the sea with her to prevent another war. There,
however, the ruler of Terah learns that betrayal is an
everyday commodity; nothing is exactly what is seems in
beautiful, sinister Hetar. And the lovers attract the
animosity of Prospero, a dangerous enemy to have. For
power, dear reader, does corrupt absolutely.
This take continues to unfold within the corridors of my
imagination. I hope you will enjoy Lara's further
adventures as she continues to seek out her true destiny. I
know I am enjoying writing it for you.
