EARTH LOGIC - ELEMENTAL LOGIC BOOK 2 - LAURIE MARKS








EARTH LOGIC

A sweeping drama of war, intrigue, magic, and love...
With Earth Logic, Laurie J. Marks continues the epic of her stunningly imagined
world of Shaftal, which she first introduced in Fire Logic.
Shaftal has a ruler again, a woman with enough power to heal the war-torn land
and expel the invading Sainnites from Shaftal. Or it would have a ruler if the
earth witch Karis G’deon consented to rule. Instead, she lives in obscurity with
the fractious family of elemental talents who gathered around her in Fire Logic.
She is waiting for some sign, but no one, least of all Karis herself, knows what
it is.
Then the Sainnite garrison at Watfield is attacked by a troop of zealots
claiming to speak for the Lost G’deon, and a mysterious and deadly plague
attacks the land, killing both Sainnites and Shaftali. Karis must act or watch
her beloved country fall into famine and chaos. And when Karis acts, the very
stones of the earth sit up and take notice.

“Marks is an absolute master of fantasy in this book. Her characters are
beautifully drawn, showing tremendous emotional depth and strength as they
endure the unendurable and strive to do the right thing, and her unusual use of
the elemental forces central to her characters’ lives gives the book a big
boost. This is a read-it-straight-through adventure!”
