Wind Follower

By: Carole McDonnell

Narrated by: Darla Middlebrook

Although it is not entirely to her liking, grief-stricken Satha, a dark-skinned woman from a poor Theseni clan weds young Loic, the wealthy Doreni son of the king's First Captain. Loic, graced with ability to see into the hearts and minds of others, begins to help Satha overcome her sorrows.

Despite coming from different tribes, they begin to forge a life together. But when Satha's own compassion is used against her and a treacherous enemy contrives to dishonor her in Loic's absence, Loic's love turns to anger and disgust. Embittered, Loic must still avenge his honor and Satha's and he sets out on a journey that brings despair as well as spiritual discovery.

Battling him are the Arkhai, the spirits of the land who know his quest will lead him toward the God whom they have usurped. After his departure, Satha is kidnapped, sold into slavery and learns, first hand, how cruel the pioneering Angleni tribe can be. Both face great hardship, danger and anguish apart, but with the Creator's aid there remains hope they will be reunited and heal the love the world has torn asunder.

Lovely fantasy novel

I loved the story and the world bending was amazing. There were a few pacing issues and sometimes the voice of the narrator grated (especially for the male characters) but overall it was a great story full or love, hardships and eventual triumph.

Great story

I really connected with this story and have read it more than once. Soon I'm going to read it again. It doesn't go where you think it will go.

GREAT READ!

I enjoyed it! The narration was great and kept me entertained! The author did a great job with the characters and plot. I have read other books by this author and love her writing style! I look forward to reading more of her books! I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
