    About this series

    The zora of Honar must face invaders coming from the neighouring lands of Gemada and Kalenj, facing them in one battle after another.  Their infuriating thief Farr seems to have disappeared and no longer appears in the midst of battle to help.  Zora numbers have become badly depleted, and many begin to question their role.  Yet even in the midst of war, there are opportunities for quiet reflection. In those moments, the zora Group Leader Senra quietly pursues her own personal exploration of the enigma that is the Rider of Blizzards and Wind.  She is a friend, to be sure, but to what end?  The question remains unanswered as the tide gradually turns against Honari forces and the zora of Honar are faced with unacceptable choices.  Their only safe course of action is to leave the land they love.  They seek sanctuary with a gypsy tribe on the edge of the great Thamadi Desert and begin to recuperate.

    When a new enemy marches into Honar, an enemy unknown to all, the zora feel compelled to rally once again in defence of their homeland and return to Honar.  In the pitched battle that follows, they must fight side-by-side with the conquerors of Honar against strange, unnerving beings with whom they cannot communicate.  Worse, an impossible appearance from her past threatens to destroy Senra entirely.  Only flight southwards, assisted by a renegade troop of Honari cavalry, saves the zora from incarceration or worse. 

    In the south they reconnect with their friend, the thief named Linfarr, in the remains of a lost city that once was the capital of a land that has disappeared even from legend.  So begins a new, unexpected journey for them all, bringing with it new allies, breeds of man whose existence has been only in the realm of legend - if at all.

      Trapped by a mob in the town of Deceus, Senra, one of the elite zora of Honar, seeks sanctuary in the local stables.  She is not alone;  her companion is a brown thief called Farr.  Together they escape the town and then part ways, leaving Senra to report to her company about the gathering unrest in Honar that threatens the zora themselves. Gradually the zora of Honar are drawn into endless war in defence of their country and their right to exist.  Together with the armies of Honar they fight on, while their queen flees from Honar to seek sanctuary in the land of another traditional enemy.  Life contracts to one battle after another, yet time and again the thief named Farr appears, riding into the chaos of war laughing and with no apparent care for her own safety.  A redoubtable fighter, nonetheless once the crisis is past she slips away into the darkness without explanation.  To Senra's frustration, no attempt to recruit Farr's considerable talents into the zora of Honar succeeds. As the zora are drawn deeper into the turmoil of a nation invaded on two fronts, Senra finds herself at war not only with their enemies but with herself.  Her own past conspires to work against her, drawing her back into the hell from which she had escaped as a child.  Once again she finds that Farr is there, and the strange, unexpected knowledge and understanding shown by her thief companion begins to intrigue her as much as it intrigues their captor.  Farr understanding of the hidden powerwithin Senra is far beyond that of their captor and Senra herself. As their friendship deepens, Senra begins to wonder how much of the thief is real, and how much is a façade;  and if it is a façade, what does it hide?

    Kerry Truelove

    Daughter of a career diplomat, Kerry grew up in Australia and postings in New Zealand, Africa, Europe and Asia, a mobile childhood that probably stimulated the imagination and certainly ended up with an eclectic education.  She graduated from the then Canberra College of Advanced Education, with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Biology), a degree which focused mainly upon ecological conservation.  She entered the Australian Public Service as a base-grade clerk in 1980 and spent over twenty years in the service.  This was followed by a brief foray as a natural resource consultant and a slightly longer time as a fitness personal trainer, before retiring from paid employment. She lives in Canberra with four cats and an collection of (largely unfinished) projects, varying from further writings to drawings, woodworks and her garden.  It has been a lifetime of writing, sketching and generally trying to create things, with mixed success but (usually) a lot of enjoyment.
