Mikuyi Moon, Book 7

Coming Soon!

Mikuyi Moon, Book 7 in the Voice of the Wind: Shadows of Time series —

“When the war moon rises, stained crimson with the blood of the slain — I, Eridandi, Wolf Clan Chief of the Mikuyi — will ride again and claim my own.” ~ Ancient prophesy promising the return of the Mikuyi, banished into exile, to their place among the Objishanda tribes

Kieron Fayerfield left home, a young man seeking adventure and romance. He finds what he seeks among the Mikuyi’s Wolf Clan when he marries Uriate Canavar and together they raise five sons. Two decades later, Kieron’s peaceful life among the Mikuyi shatters when his second-born son Althar’s lover is brutally murdered and Althar wounded. A night of fire and blood vendetta sends Kieron and Uriate’s sons, Inali and Althar, fleeing to Fayerton and exile.

Inali and Althar’s journey from their northern home in the Unfaithful Mountains to their father’s family home in Fayerton, crosses the unexpected path of the elusive Gahada, one of the tribes of the Objishanda known for their healing gifts. Fearful for Althar’s life-threatening injury, Inali makes a decision that alters his destiny. Without any regard for the consequences of his actions, Inali kidnaps a young Gahada woman to save his brother’s life.

Thus begins an epic journey that brings Mikuyi Moon to life with a diverse and unruly cast of characters and fortuitous events. From sailing regattas and midnight muggings, to tavern brawls and domestic disputes, plenty of intrigue, unrequited love, jealousy, deceit, and treachery abounds.
