Earth Logic

The country of Shaftal has a new ruler but she is living in obscurity with her fractious found family. With war and disease spreading, she must act. And when she acts, the very stones of the earth sit up and take notice. Praise for the Elemental Logic series: "Continues the tale of a woman born to magic and destined to rule. Vivid descriptions and a well-thought-out system of magic." --Library Journal "Another stunner of a book. The powerful but subtle writing glows with intelligence." --Booklist (starred review) Laurie J. Marks's teaches at the University of Massachusetts.
