First in the 'Truth' fantasy series. A young woman is sent by her mother to The Hold, which her long-gone father used to tell her stories about--magic, Keepers, raku--surely these things weren't actually REAL? Now her mother sends her on her way, certain that Alissa has inherited her father's magical powers. Along the way, Alissa meets Strell, a young plainsman returning from the coast, who has just learned that his entire family and his home were washed away in a flash flood five years ago. All the while Alissa continues to deny her magical heritage, she begins to experience things that couldn't be explained EXCEPT by magic. And what will they do once they reach the Hold? Excellent first book in series with an interesting world, well-fleshed characters and enough of a cliff-hanger ending that you want to move on to the next one and soon!
