Daughter of Aithne
(Book 3 of the Silver Web)
by Karin Rita Gastreich
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Across the Furma River,
Taesara of Roenfyn is drawn out of seclusion and into an ever-more vicious game
of intrigue and war. Subject to the schemes of a shrewd uncle and the
mysterious ambitions of the wizards of Galia, Taesara struggles to assert her
own destiny, even as she takes up arms to defend her daughter's inheritance.
In the climactic finale
to The Silver Web trilogy, threads of love, honor, betrayal, and vengeance
culminate in a violent conflict between powerful women, opposed to each other
yet destined to shatter a thousand-year cycle of war.
"A tale of female
oppression, prejudice, and even deadly seduction, EOLYN touches on issues that
are deeply relevant to our own society." -Apex Reviews review of EOLYN,
Book One of the Silver Web
“The story's greatest
triumph is Gastreich's prose, a consistent blend of lyrical verse and dark
imageray....Lush, evocative descriptions carry readers through an unforgettable
journey.” –Kirkus Reviews review of SWORD OF SHADOWS, Book Two of The Silver
Web”

Now for an excerpt:
Eolyn shifted in her seat. A thousand words stood poised
upon her lips, of which only a handful could be chosen and delivered. Each
conversation in the coming days had to be undertaken with great care,
especially when it came to this mage.
“Why did Thelyn come for us, and not you?” she asked.
“I was needed to track down the magas still residing in the
City,” Corey replied. “Besides, Thelyn was the better mage for that task.”
Mariel, she thought. He would not have had the heart to bind
Mariel.
A small sign, perhaps, that Mage Corey could yet be counted
among her friends.
“I understand you are to oversee their interrogation,” Eolyn
said.
“It is true, my Lady Queen.”
“I have expressed my concerns about this to the King. He
assures me that you and your mages will not be permitted to—”
“My Lady Queen, if there is one thing you have learned in
the years of our friendship, it is that I will do whatever must be done in the
moment at hand, and I will harden my heart to see it through.”
“That may be the case, Mage Corey. Yet I also know that
words are your most effective tool. You have never resorted to violence to
obtain what you require.”
Corey let her statement hang in the air.
Eolyn averted her gaze, suddenly aware of the icy tension in
her hands.
I, too, am being interrogated.
“You did not bring a scribe,” she said quietly.
“What need have I for a scribe, my Lady Queen?” He softened
his tone. “We are, as of yet, simply conversing.”
