Love, when blanketed by secrets, can damage the best of relationships. Especially when the secret keepers are your parents and the secret they keep is already widely known and was foreseen many years before.
The world has been awaiting word of her arrival for several decades. As the next Great Oracle, it was foretold she would do many wondrous things. Her existence has been kept a closely guarded family secret. Even from her. However, when she is discovered, her greatest wish is to return to her former life of anonymity.
When Kivantia is told who she is, she is unwilling to believe her family could lie to her for so long. But after having several visions, she can no longer refuse to ignore her future. Or can she?
I am a wife and mother who simply loves the written word. All the places you get to visit by simply separating a few pages. All the people you get to live through and fall in love with. All the adventures you get to have without ever having to leave your house. Not to mention all the worlds you get to visit and travel. I hope you join me in my books and travel, live and love with me.
Kiva had been the dutiful daughter. She lived a sheltered life as a simple farmer's daughter. One day, a sudden rainstorm and a chance encounter changed everything for her. Stolen away to a land she does not know and a future she is unprepared for, at least she has one good friend by her side... Part of the time.
An enchanting, historical novel about the next great oracle and a terrifying sea journey. A story of wits and will and an important role that no one informed her of, with a man she doesn't know if she can trust. I was not expecting such a cliff hanger ending! I hope it will not be long until the story continues. I enjoy the author's style but there was inconsistency in the tense in which it was written which made some sections less smooth. Overall, a well paced story with interesting characters.
