A lovely new novella that's planned to be part of an episodic novel - I got it through the Kickstarter campaign. Set in the Southwest, it evokes the landscape beautifully (not surprising, it is a Tarr); the characters are rich, unusual, and fascinating. A woman who can understand what animals say, and therefore can't tolerate cities and lives on an isolated ranch, gets a job boarding a very unusual herd of horses, who normally travel with a circus (though they're not one of the acts). How unusual they are comes out in dreams, and a startling conversation with the stallion one moonlit night. The animal-talker goes off to discuss things with the people who left the horses with her, and they take some action to protect the horses - and the world. Waking the dragon in the earth is a necessary action, and solves the immediate problem...I'm eagerly awaiting the next novella. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la sérieHorses of the Moon (volume 1)
Dragons sleep in the earth here. Claire is barely scraping a living on her friend's ranch near Tucson, Arizona. She looks after the long-abandoned horse facility, makes occasional attempts to resuscitate her academic career, and pays the bills, more or less, with her skills as an animal communicator. Those skills don't always let her say the tactful thing to the human with the checkbook. Sometimes she has to tell the truth. After a particularly unfortunate session, Claire gets one last chance to keep her home and her livelihood. A small herd of horses needs a place to live and a person to care for them. But these are no ordinary horses. They represent an old, old breed, the rarest in the world, and they protect an ancient and terrible secret. And something is hunting them. The ranch is a perfect sanctuary. The powers that live on and under and above it can protect the horses-if Claire can control them. But first she has to control her own abilities, and learn to believe in herself. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
