A Journey of the Heart

When Women Were Warriors, Book II

By: Catherine M. Wilson

Narrated by: Anne Marie Lewis

Tamras’s apprenticeship as a warrior isn’t turning out quite the way she expected. Her unconventional choices lead to her crossing swords, almost literally, with Vintel, the war leader of Merin’s house. She finds herself embroiled in a power struggle she is doomed to lose, but the loss sends her on a journey that will change her destiny and decide the fate of her people.

Catherine Wilson creates a magical sense of belonging to that place. Within that, she also tells how it feels to not belong. It calls us to remember that women had, and still have, a wise and powerful place in the world.

In this book, we see Tamras’s world open from the House of Merin and its immediate environs into the lands beyond its borders. She meets other peoples, whose ways are different from those she knows. Similarly, Tamras’ inner life expands as well. The feelings within her blossom into the romantic love that will be the linchpin her life will hinge on....

This series is so good!

Omg this series is amazing!!!! I absolutely love it! It’s like sitting around a campfire being told a story of the past and of strong women. There is some romance in it and a few wlw scenes. The plot of the story is really hitting the peak in this book!

Amazing

So beautiful, magical nd engaging. My wife and I loved listening to this and love it so much. We can't wait until the 3rd book has audio recorded. This narrator was amazing and I hope she voices the next book!

Lesbian Fiction Classic

Even if you are not a fan of fantasy genre, these books should be on your must read list. However, if you are going for the audiobook version, take she the off between the first read with Janis Ian and this one. The styles and voices are just too different and rather jarring.

Love this series!

I am sooo mad at myself for leaving this in my wish list for so long. Absolutely amazing books. I cannot wait for the 3rd book to come out!!! Seriously I need it now…lol.

Taps into something ancient

Catherine! You know I adore you and your work. Always have been. And I’m elated to have seen just now that you had book 2 on audio. Waiting patiently (not so patiently) for book 3 now. Your writing and essence felt throughout the story and pages, you know, I’ve admired for ages. I’m so blessed to have relived this story as I travel through New Zealand. On ancient land listening to an ancient era that I feel I’ve shared many oaths lives in. This story has always and still awakens my warrior lifetime, both tragic and full of love and fire. Big love to you Catherine.
