Review
"At the heart and soul of this fine novel is a complex perception of the roles men and women are forced to play by the rules of gender and a desperately keen sense of the cost of trying to change the roles or the rules. It is a fantasy without wishful thinking, both ruthless and tender, not to be forgotten." - Ursula K. LeGuin -
Product Description
A young queen must confront her destiny, and overcome the powerful forces arrayed against her. When she is kidnapped by enemy invaders, Marwen of Kamilan must escape her oppressive foe and reclaim her throne. But it will be a fight that will test the very limits of her will, both in an ill-matched war against her former captors, and in the political intrigues that await her in her own land. It is only with the help of a battle hardened soldier, that Marwen finds the strength to face her greatest fears, and discovers that love may be the most dangerous weapon of all.

Great book!, April 23 2005

This review is from: Even The Stones (Paperback)
This book was beautiful. Wonderful characters. This is a story of queen Marwen, who escapes a horrible kidnapping in a god-and-violence-dominated land, with the help of her best friend, an amazonian-type of girl, and minstrel, Kiri. Marwen is very young, but very wise. She must trust in her goddess, Jana, to guide her, and stand strong against her male-dominated senate to create a new Kamilan.At last a Goddess queen can stand strong in her power without a tragic ending befalling her. Thank you Marie Jakober for not making Marwen's story TOO tragic or too predictable.
I would so love to see a sequel to this book!

A young queen must heed the call of destiny, Oct 30 2004
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Even The Stones (Paperback)
Even The Stones is a fantastic epic, set in a land torn apart by war. A young queen must heed the call of destiny and accept the power of a goddess long since forsaken. Captured and learning to survive in a land where women are bought and sold, where her own court is rife with corruption, all her skills and sorcery will be put to the most fierce test in her attempts to bring about lasting change. A vividly fantastic and wondrous saga, featuring a strong-willed heroine.
