What if… Hope returns to the hearts of the People with the arrival of An’Kru, the Promised One, prophesied to usher in the Wrak-Ashwea, the Age of Light. But amid the joy, the Healer realizes she must once again face the challenge of raising an offspring with an uncertain future.
What if… Oh’Dar is still tormented by having to live in two worlds, and inspired by Acise, thinks the unthinkable. And Pajackok, still shamed by Acise’s rejection of him, commits a heinous crime that could crush Chief Is’Taqa and his family—forever.
What if… Pan, the Last of the Mothoc Guardians, finally appears to Adia and teaches her more about the nature of the One-Who-Is-Three and reveals the true connection between the People, the Waschini, and the Brothers.
But the breath of the Great Spirit, the Aezaitera, the continual presence of the life force entering and exiting Etera’s realm, will not be denied.
As new lives start out, other lives are brought to a close. For change is the nature of life and calls on each to find the strength and courage to face Endings and Beginnings.
Book Ten Endings and Beginnings is the tenth book in the original new series by Leigh Roberts.
When Leigh Roberts is not caught up in the fantasy world of Etera with Adia, Khon'tor, Acaraho, Oh'Dar, and Nadiwani, she is enjoying the beauty of the rural area in which she lives.
An avid reader since early childhood, she grew up on superhero comics, science fiction stories, and television shows like The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, and Star Trek.
Star Trek had a huge influence on her thinking and taught her the infinite possibilities of imagination--and how to split infinitives. Spoiler alert: you may find a Klingon word or phrase dropped in here or there.
She loves being an author, and her heart's desire is to be writing for a long, long time to come.
This is one of the best series I have ever read in my 40+ years of reading. Everything is here, suspense, mystery, fantasy, romance, family, coming of age, surprise, shock and awe. I found myself invested in the lives of the characters, rooting for some, loving some, hating others, definitely a roller coaster of emotions. I cried with them, laughed, celebrated and grieved. I am anxiously awaiting the continuation of this series. I am a lover of fantasy/sci-fi. This is a unique take in this genre. The character development is rich, enough detail provided about the physical surroundings that I could picture it in my head without needing to read pages upon pages describing the scenery. Highly recommend!
Book Ten there is many changes for the people. Pagackok returns and causes strife for Acise and her parents. AtarTor and KhonTor finally have it out. Acarado is now leader of Kthama. Nootau finds love and Oh'Dar returns to Shadow Ridge. Looking forward to Book 11.
I know that I and thousands of other readers are so involved in this series. Leigh Roberts has imagined and woven a story telling masterpiece. And we THANK HER!! We are also anxiously awaiting #11!!!
This series is phenomenal and with each story it keeps on getting better and better. Oh the storylines that are interwoven are so good and it only makes me crave more and want the next book, book 11, in the series now.
It has everything … conflict, action, adventure, romance, new frontiers. Leigh Roberts is an amazing writer, her characters are deep and complex. But if you’re reading book 10, you already know that.
Just wish I wasn’t so obsessed that I could get some real work done before starting book 11!
Enter and thoroughly enjoy yourself into the vibrant world of Etera
I loved this book! it was a captivating emotional rollercoaster that highlighted both the highs and lows that can be essential parts of our life existence and experience. The scenic descriptions are so poetic and realistic,it's easy to visually imagine these fantastic sights sounds and scenic views
I marvel at the writing of this book. The spirituality in this book is so deep and inviting. I cannot say how beautiful the writing is in this book and the books preceding this one.
I read this series at a fast pace, one book a day for nine days. Book ten got two days because I was reluctant to leave this world. And then, good news, I find there will be more. Soon, please, Ms. Roberts.
Even if u did make me cry. So happy that Khon Tor and Tehya were still in this a bit, I can't wait to see what comes next for everyone. Will Notor and his group be involved?
I am a little disappointed that it was so short, as always,book 10 was hard to put down, stayed up most of the night reading it.WONDERFUL. Get busy on the next one.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read. I had the choice to continue on to each of the next books or not, And I chose to continue each time.
