Iuti Mano is a legend of her time. She is a fierce warrior whose energy has been drained by watching those around her suffer and die. Determined to regain her inner calm, she severs her bonds with Mano Niuhi, the honored shark that bestowed its magic and power on generations of her family. But even though she has slain her source of power, she is still plagued by the continuing war ravaging her land. A resident evil force that is increasing its power has disturbed her sabbatical on the uninhabited island she chose for its solitude. When a sorceress tries to steal her power and the mythical Demon Drummers stalk Iuti in order to crown her the Mother Drum, her quest for peace is disturbed. She must use her remaining power to defeat the dark magic that haunts the tranquility of her island paradise. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The plot itself is more standard - warrior woman must defeat evil sorceress and her evil tribal followers, with the help of an attractive shapeshifter and some other powerful allies.
But the exotic atmosphere really did it for me - I enjoyed it a lot.
I was initially introduced to this author by this being published as a 'Del Rey Discovery' book - I've really found nearly all the books I've read from that imprint to be quite good. Unfortunately, that line introducing stand-out works by new SF authors is no longer extant.
However, this book has now been picked up by Open Road Media, thanks to whom I got an ebook copy of the novel. I see that the publisher has also released Severance's other titles, including the long out-of-print sequels to this one: 'Storm Caller' and 'Sorcerous Sea.' I'll have to pick those up and finally find out what happens next!
