Indigo Time discussion

I first read this book in an earlier draft and was astonished that it took this long to find a publisher.
Bravo to Lorina and Robert at Five Rivers!
Indigo Time is an effective combination of fantasy and science fiction. Very much a story of female empowerment, it features a matriarchal legacy that is both magical and poisonous and a protagonist who is strong enough to wield it while resisting its corrupting influence. This is a novel about family and friendship, love and strength, nobility and corruption.
The coming of age aspect makes it an excellent read for young readers, but it is also a very adult story about deception, decision-making, the strength of family; and both the dangers and rewards of following your heart and opening your mind.
