She hated imagining Derry's grief. She hated even more that it was her fault.
Kyer is gutted by what happened at the Tree of Life, and at leaving her friends behind to face it.
Struggling in vain to free her mother from Golgathaur's new, impregnable prison, Kyer finally has the chance to ask why her mother abandoned her twenty years ago.
The truth sends Kyer reeling, and she is forced to flee, plagued by guilt for all that has befallen the people of Rydris. Yet again Kyer has left her mother behind to suffer the wrath of Golgathaur, whose desire to bend Kyer to his will escalates.
Kyer has never felt more alone, nor as hopeless.
Golgathaur's new strategy is to take the one thing Kyer cannot afford to lose.
Autorentext
Krista started out as a singer, took up acting, studied Theatre at UVic, then eventually added writing to her creative endeavours. She grew up in the Port Coquitlam vortex, and so was naturally pulled back there after her time away.
As a singer she has spanned several styles, having sung classical music for several years, then switched out and was part of jazz, rock and R&B bands for most of her career. She has been the vocalist for FAT Jazz for 427 years, and is half of a jazz duo called The Itty Bitty Big Band.
She writes primarily Fantasy, but has dabbled in other genres, in both short and long fiction. Her Gatekeeper series is more traditional fantasy, while Griffin and the Spurious Correlations, inspired largely by her rock band era, is Contemporary Humour Fantasy Romance.
Most recently she combined all her artistic exploits and discovered audiobook narration, with a little help from her friends, and then decided to start the podcast, [Totally Fantastic Title], which then branched into the production of her own audiobooks.
