Kate Elliott

(and her evil twin, Alis Rasmussen)

This novel is a prequel to The Golden Key. Although it helps to have read that one before reading this one, it’s not necessary; I hope that I wrote The Diviner in such a way that it makes sense all by itself. If it doesn’t, I have every confidence that you’ll let me know.

In the barbarian land to the north, the Grijalvas believe that the smearing of paint on canvas is more powerful than the writing of words.

In Tza’ab Rih, we of the Shagara know that this is not so.
