Larger size for easier reading.Snapping orders and demanding an end to the chaos won''t work. Not this time. Shawna could barely keep up with the demands upon her as it was, and now ... this! Shawna''s skills as the highest level sorcery worker and a military commander are crucial to Hallen Oaks surviving the winter. The witch''s war already killed over half its population and destructive magic transformed field and forest to dunes of dust -- creating extreme shortages of food, water and firewood. Solving these problems consumed enough of Shawna''s time and energy, even before the formerly quiet duchy began to roil with irrational violence, debauchery, treachery, and assassinations. Shawna cannot delegate responsibility because the leaders she must rely on, who had been competent, are enacting irrational policies and putting political bickering above survival, and members of the military support traitors. Shawna has witnessed enough mayhem to know that war-time stress and desperation alone cannot account for what is happening. Something more is afoot. Something she must stop. However, neither her sorcery nor military investigation uncover evidence of magical tampering, or any other reason for the unrest and violence. Despite her efforts, the death toll rises, crimes escalate, winter arrives ... ...and Shawna must find the answers, before there''s no one left

Large Size paperback edition for easier reading!Assaulted by corrupt magic, Hallen Oaks is crumbling. Shawna, a military commander and high level sorceress, goes to defend the blighted region against enemy forces led by Jendell. Shawna has fought numerous battles, many involving magic, but Jendell somehow manages to penetrate her mind, using this to influence her decisions and in attempts to twist her potent sorcery to a force of destruction. Short-tempered since childhood, Shawna easily developed a warrior''s emotional restraint and has little experience with the softer emotions. However, she soon realizes that Jendell''s aggression resonates uniquely with her assertive nature, allowing him to manipulate both her magic and mind. The only way to resist Jendell is to abandon her emotional shields -- creating a different form of peril for herself and Hallen Oaks. Commanding battles, struggling with unfamiliar emotions, and fending off personal attacks require fortitude, confidence, and aggression... ...the same strengths that can cause Shawna to betray the realm she is sworn to protect.

Nicole''s passion for music accelerates the rock band Crystal Dimensions toward success. Her ability to use music to project 3-D images and to translate melodies into telekinetic energy is a secret she dares confide to only a few people. She also ''rides the music''.

When they return to California, one band mate is missing and possibly dead. Guilt overwhelms Nicole and she develops a steadily increasing fear of music which suppresses her music-fueled abilities. Terrified and unwilling to jeopardize others, she struggles alone to gain control of her uncanny powers and find her missing friend.
