false 2987598 1 <p>All is not right in the land of the three moons.</p> <p>From the moment Yarri Moon was born, Torrant heard the bells of joy whenever she was near. But the world can be a cruel place, even for the moon destined, and when an evil born of ignorance destroys their families and their home in the heart of Clough, Torrant and Yarri learn first hand how ugly prejudice against the Goddess moon can be.</p> <p>After a terrible journey, they find shelter with Yarri's family in Eiran, a land of easy tolerances and joy. However, as Torrant grows, so does his anger at the forces that destroyed their peace, their home, and their family back in Clough.</p> <p>Torrant is a healer and a poet, and he has the magic gift of truth. As he waits for Yarri to come of age, he sees, first hand, how the same beliefs that destroyed their home are poisoning the lands around him, and corrupting the hearts of the people within.</p> <p>Ultimately, Torrant is faced with a choice: He can claim Yarri and they can live the love that has been promised them since the beginning, or he can take his one, most terrifying and secret gift into the land of Clough and remove, in one dreadful strike, the evil that has cost him and his beloved so very much.</p> <p>But choosing vengeance over love exacts its own terrible price, and Torrant may find that the part of him that was destined to be loved by Yarri is the part that's annihilated in his quest to make her safe.</p> 3018056 21 1 2008 Bitter Moon I: Triane's Son Ascending total:11|5:8|4:3| 11 52 25 3 4 2 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Apr 22 03:24:13 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 16:47:39 -0700 2009
To me the start of Bitter Moon was a slow process of keeping track of all that occurred, making me wonder for a bit if the author had perhaps started the tale a long time ago and then discarded the idea for a while before resuming with the world she had created i...more...]]> 5 2 false false Mon Apr 20 21:25:18 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 02:49:15 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Apr 03 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Nov 14 10:43:17 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 14 10:44:48 -0800 2008 1 Love the characters.]]> 0 0 false false Thu Oct 22 14:56:52 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 14:56:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Aug 16 10:03:31 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 16 10:03:31 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Jul 03 06:37:29 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 03 06:37:29 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Jun 28 13:00:29 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 13:00:29 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jun 27 20:16:55 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 27 20:16:55 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 09 03:31:36 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 03:31:36 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jul 08 07:26:52 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 03:23:52 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 07:26:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun May 31 07:22:13 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 07:22:13 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue May 19 21:19:14 -0700 2009 Tue May 19 21:19:14 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu May 14 00:35:07 -0700 2009 Thu May 14 00:35:07 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Apr 23 13:02:43 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 02 06:06:27 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Jun 12 01:58:31 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 08 06:42:04 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 12 01:58:31 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Mar 09 01:16:35 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 09 01:16:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Mar 05 13:14:47 -0800 2009 Thu Mar 05 13:14:47 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Mar 01 13:34:28 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 01 13:34:28 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jan 23 22:14:30 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 23 22:14:30 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 13 21:13:09 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 13 21:13:09 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2987598
