false 758546 4 In a post-apocalyptic ice age, neomage Thorn St. Croix was nearly driven insane by her powers. She lived as a fugitive, disguised as a human and married to a human man, channeling her gifts for war into stone-magery. When she was discovered, her friends and neighbors accepted her, but warily. Not so the mage who arrives from the Council of Seraphs, who could be her greatest ally-or her most dangerous foe. And when it's revealed that her long-gone sister, Rose, is still alive, Thorn must make a choice-and risk her own life in the process. 744657 6 11 2007 Host (Thorn St. Croix, Book 3) total:132|5:41|4:56|3:31|2:3|1:1| 132 529 252 16 758546 0451461738 9780451461735 125 16 4.01 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/758546.Host 4 0 false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 13 14:26:49 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 17 22:51:11 -0700 2009 1
