Beginning:
No one could've predicted this moment in time.Friday 56:
From the private diaries of Father Xavier Perez, July 8, 2073This week I am reading Allegiance of Honor by Nalini Singh. This is the 15th book in this urban fantasy series. Here is the description from Amazon:
Nina,
I'm sitting surrounded by the phantom image of what was once our village.
A staggering transformation has put the Psy, humans, and changelings at a crossroads. The Trinity Accord promises a new era of cooperation between disparate races and groups. It is a beacon of hope held together by many hands: old enemies, new allies, wary loners.
But a century of distrust and suspicion can't be so easily forgotten, and it threatens to shatter Trinity from within at any moment. As rival members vie for dominance, chaos and evil gather in the shadows and a kidnapped woman's cry for help washes up in San Francisco, while the Consortium turns its murderous gaze toward a child who is the embodiment of change, of love, of piercing hope: a child who is both Psy...and changeling.
To find the lost and protect the vulnerable - and to save Trinity - no one can stand alone. This is a time of loyalty across divisions, of bonds woven into the heart and the soul, of heroes known and unknown standing back to back and holding the line. But is an allegiance of honor even possible with traitors lurking in their midst?
Glad you enjoy sci fi and fantasy. Hope you love this one.
ReplyDeleteNice snippets. Hope you enjoy the book.
ReplyDeleteHere's my Friday read - Anxiety for Beginners by Eleanor Morgan
This sounds like an interesting book. The part about a murderous gaze toward a child representing change made me think of Jesus and how Herod was after Him.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day. :)
This sounds like a good series to follow.
ReplyDeleteNot read this author yet but heard a lot of good things about her.
